This section describes the steps that you should take to ensure your Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) infrastructure
works with Smart PHY.
Configuring DHCP
To establish a GCP session with Smart PHY, and later to be GCP-redirected to the appropriate CCAP Cores, the RPDs must first
discover Smart PHY’s Converged Interconnect Network (CIN) virtual IP address.
Discovery is performed using DHCP. The DHCP servers assigning leases to RPDs must include the CIN virtual IP address of Cisco
Smart PHY in the suboption 61 CCAP Cores, under DHCP option 43.
To configure suboption 61 CCAP Cores under DHCP option 43, contact your DHCP software vendor.
Configuring Cisco cBR-8 for Smart PHY
Smart PHY collects SNMP traps and syslog messages to determine and report the operational status of Cisco cBR-8 routers and
RPDs.
Enabling Syslog
You can configure your cBR-8 routers to send syslog messages to Smart PHY, including the messages for Line Card high availability
(HA) events.
To enable syslog, enter the following commands on your cBR-8 routers:
configure terminal
logging host <Smart PHY CIN Virtual IP Address> transport [tcp|udp]
port 8514
logging trap informational
cable logging layer2events
Enabling SNMP Traps
You can configure your cBR-8 routers to send SNMP traps to Smart PHY.
To enable SNMP traps on your cBR-8 router, enter the following commands:
configure terminal
snmp-server host <Smart PHY CIN Virtual IP address> version 2c public udp-port <port-number>
