Chapter 2 Cisco Cable Modem Termination System Commands
Command History
Usage Guidelines This command preprovisions a slot in the Cisco uBR10012 router to accept a particular line card, so that
you can configure the interface without the card being physically present in the chassis. This command
allows system administrators to plan for future configurations, without having to wait for the physical
hardware to first arrive. When the line card does arrive, the installer can bring the card online by inserting
the card into the chassis and connecting the necessary cables, without having to do any further
configuration using the command-line interface.
The type of card must be appropriate for the slot being specified. Slots 1/0 through 4/0 are reserved for
network uplink line cards. Slot 5/0 through 8/1 are reserved for cable interface line cards. Slot 0/0 is
reserved for the FastEthernet interface on the PRE1 module and cannot be specified in this command.
OL-1581-05
Release Modification
12.2(1)XF1 This command was introduced for the Cisco uBR10012 router, and for the
following line cards:
Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C cable interface line card
Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C-BNC cable interface line card
Cisco uBR10-1GE Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) uplink line card
Cisco uBR10-1OC12/P-SMI OC-12 POS uplink line card
12.2(4)XF1 Support was added for the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16C and
Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16E cable interface line cards.
12.2(4)BC1 Support was added for the Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN uplink
line card.
12.2(8)BC1 Support was added for the Cisco LCP2 line card processor, and all of its
combinations with the supported cable interface line cards.
Tip When a card has been preprovisioned and is not physically present in the chassis, the show interface
command for that slot displays the message “Hardware is not present.” Some show commands might
also list the preprovisioned card in their displays.
Examples The following example shows a list of supported card types for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)BC1, and then
shows that slot 8/0 is being preprovisioned for a Cisco uBR-LCP2-MC28C cable interface line card. The
cable interface for slot 8/0 can then be configured.
Router# config t
Router(config)# card 5/0 ?
1cable-mc16c create a uBR10000 line card with MC16C
1cable-mc16e create a uBR10000 line card with MC16E
1gigethernet-1 create a GE_1_PORT cardtype
1oc12pos-1 create a OC12POS_1_PORT cardtype
2cable-mc28bnc create a uBR10000 line card with MC28C, BNC connector
2cable-mc28c create a uBR10000 line card with MC28C
2oc12srp-sm-lr create a uBR10000 oc12 SRP card with SM LR
Router(config)# card 8/0 2cable-mc28c
Router(config)# int c8/0
Router(config-if)#
The following example shows the output from the show interface command for a preprovisioned cable
interface. The second line of the output shows that the hardware is not present.
