Cable Interface Setup Facility
The Cisco uBR10012 router Setup facility (also called the System Configuration dialog) is a useful and
efficient tool for configuring your CMTS. The Setup facility supports the a number of functions so that
cable interfaces and cable interface line cards are fully operational (after initial setup). Refer to the
"Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Using the Setup Facility" section on page

"Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Manually Using Configuration Mode" section on page
Cisco Network Registrar
Cisco provides the Cisco Network Registrar with each Cisco uBR10012 router.
Cisco Network Registrar dramatically improves the reliability of naming and addressing services for
enterprise and service provider networks. Cisco Network Registrar provides scalable Domain Name
System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services and forms the basis of a
DOCSIS CM provisioning system.
Cisco Network Registrar is a configuration tool that automates dynamic IP address allocation to
cable interfaces, PCs, and other devices on the broadband network. Cisco Network Registrar allows you
to track serial numbers and MAC addresses for each cable interface on your network, and reduces
customer service involvement when tracking subscriber CPE equipment.
For additional information about configuring or using Cisco Network Registrar, refer to the latest
Cisco Network Registrar documentation at the Cisco Web site (http://www.cisco.com). One such
