Appendix B Using the Cable Monitor Tool
Enabling the Cable Monitor
The following sections describe the Cisco uBR924 router’s Cable Monitor:
• Enabling the Cable Monitor
• Disabling the Cable Monitor
• Accessing the Cable Monitor
• Sample Pages
Enabling the Cable Monitor
By default, the Cable Monitor is disabled. To allow technicians and subscribers to access the Cable
Monitor, it must be enabled using the ip http global configuration command as follows:
Tip If the router is operating in routing mode, and the cable interface is up, you can also access the Cable
Monitor by entering the IP address for the Ethernet interface into your web browser.
When the Cable Monitor is enabled, it also automatically enables the Cisco web server (giving the
equivalent of the ip http server command). However, while the Cable Monitor is active, it disables all
other access to the Cisco web server, preventing the user from accessing the CLI commands that are
normally available when the Cisco web server is active. When the Cable Monitor is active, the Cisco web
server can be used only for displaying the Cable Monitor pages.
Note If the Cable Monitor is not enabled on the Cisco uBR924 router, Cisco recommends that the Cisco web
server be disabled, using the no ip http server configuration command.
Configuration Modes
The ip http cable-monitor basic command enables the Cable Monitor and puts it in basic mode. In this
mode, the Cable Monitor displays information only about the router’s current status, whether it has
successfully completed all of its initialization routines, and cable performance statistics.
The ip http cable-monitor advance command enables the Cable Monitor and puts it in advanced mode.
In this mode, the Cable Monitor displays the router’s current status, the status of its initialization
routines, the status of the voice ports, the router’s basic configuration, and performance statistics. If an
Command Purpose
Step 1
ubr924(config)# ip http cable-monitor {basic | advance}
[URL-IP-address URL-mask]
Immediately enable the Cable Monitor in either basic
or advanced mode. Optionally specify the IP address
and subnet mask for the Cable Monitor; these
parameters also define the IP address pool used by the
temporary DHCP server when the cable interface goes
down.
Step 2
ubr924(config)# ip http port http-port (Optional) Specify the TCP port number to use for web
server (HTTP) requests. The default is the well-known
web server port of 80.
