Command History
Usage Guidelines
The
show controllers cable-modem
display begins with information from the first few registers of the
Broadcom BCM3300 chip. Next is buffer information for the receive, receive MAC message, buffer
descriptor, and packet descriptor rings. Then comes MIB statistics from the BCM3300 chip, DMA base
registers to indicate where the rings start, global control and status information, and finally interrupts for
the interrupt code.
When using this command, be sure to check the tx_count and the tx_head and tx_tail values for the buffer
descriptor (TX BD) and packet descriptor (TX PD) rings. The tx_count should be greater than 0, and the
tx_head and tx_tail values should not be equal. If these values do not change for several minutes, it could
indicate that there are packets stuck on the ring. This condition is often caused by the CMTS not giving
grants.
