Troubleshooting Tips for the Cisco uBR904 Cable Modem 45
debug cable-modem bridge
Use the debug cable-modem bridge Privileged EXEC command to debug bridge filter processing
information on a cable modem. The no form of this command turns debugging messages off.
[no] debug cable-modem bridge
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 NA.
When the interface is down, all bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface are set to discard
because traffic is not bridged until the cable interface has completed initialization. After the interface
is completely up (the line protocol), bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface program
the cable’s MAC data filters. The cable MAC hardware filters out any received packets whose
addresses, are not in the filters. In this way, the cable interface only receives packets addressed to its
own MAC address or an address it has learned on the Ethernet interface.
