Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a basic set of managed objects for SNMP-
based management of DOCSIS 1.0 compliant Cable Modems and Cable Modem
Termination Systems.
This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant to the
SNMP SMIv2 [5][6][7]. The set of objects is consistent with the SNMP
framework and existing SNMP standards.
This memo is a product of the IPCDN working group within the Internet
Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and should be
addressed to the working group's mailing list at ipcdn@terayon.com
and/or the author.

1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
St. Johns Standards PAGE 2
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.
2. Glossary
The terms in this document are derived either from normal cable
system usage, or from the documents associated with the Data Over
Cable Service Interface Specification process.
2.1. CATV
Originally "Community Antenna Television", now used to refer to any
cable or hybrid fiber and cable system used to deliver video signals
to a community.
2.2. CM Cable Modem.
A CM acts as a "slave" station in a DOCSIS compliant cable data
system.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 3
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
2.3. CMTS Cable Modem Termination System.
A generic term covering a cable bridge or cable router in a head-end.
A CMTS acts as the master station in a DOCSIS compliant cable data
system. It is the only station that transmits downstream, and it
controls the scheduling of upstream transmissions by its associated
CMs.
2.4. DOCSIS
"Data Over Cable Interface Specification". A term referring to the
ITU-T J.112 Annex B standard for cable modem systems [20].
2.5. Downstream
The direction from the head-end towards the subscriber.
2.6. Head-end
The origination point in most cable systems of the subscriber video
signals. Generally also the location of the CMTS equipment.
2.7. MAC Packet
A DOCSIS PDU.
2.8. MCNS
"Multimedia Cable Network System". Generally replaced in usage by
DOCSIS.
2.9. RF
Radio Frequency.
2.10. Upstream
The direction from the subscriber towards the head-end.
3. Overview
This MIB provides a set of objects required for the management of
DOCSIS compliant Cable Modems (CM) and Cable Modem Termination
Systems (CMTS). The specification is derived from the DOCSIS Radio
Frequency Interface specification [16]. Please note that the DOCSIS
1.0 standard only requires Cable Modems to implement SNMPv1 and to
St. Johns Standards PAGE 4
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
process IPv4 customer traffic. Design choices in this MIB reflect
those requirements. Future versions of the DOCSIS standard are
expected to require support for SNMPv3 and IPv6 as well.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [19].
3.1. Structure of the MIB
This MIB is structured into seven groups:
o The docsDevBase group extends the MIB-II 'system' group with
objects needed for cable device system management.
o The docsDevNmAccessGroup provides a minimum level of SNMP
access security (see Section 3 of [18]).
o The docsDevSoftware group provides information for network-
downloadable software upgrades. See "Handling of Software
Upgrades" below..
o The docsDevServer group provides information about the
progress of the interaction between the CM or CMTS and
various provisioning servers.
o The docsDevEvent group provides control and logging for event
reporting.
o The docsDevFilter group configures filters at link layer and
IP layer for bridged data traffic. This group consists of a
link-layer filter table, docsDevFilterLLCTable, which is used
to manage the processing and forwarding of non-IP traffic; an
IP packet classifier table, docsDevFilterIpTable, which is
used to map classes of packets to specific policy actions; a
policy table, docsDevFilterPolicyTable, which maps zero or
more policy actions onto a specific packet classification,
and one or more policy action tables.
At this time, this MIB specifies only one policy action
table, docsDevFilterTosTable, which allows the manipulation
of the type of services bits in an IP packet based on
matching some criteria. The working group may add additional
policy types and action tables in the future, for example to
allow QOS to modem service identifier assignment based on
destination.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 5
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
o The docsDevCpe group provides control over which IP addresses
may be used by customer premises equipment (e.g. PCs)
serviced by a given cable modem. This provides anti-spoofing
control at the point of origin for a large cable modem
system. This group is separate from docsDevFilter primarily
as this group is only implemented on the Cable Modem (CM) and
MUST NOT be implemented on the Cable Modem Termination System
(CMTS).
3.2. Management requirements
3.2.1. Handling of Software upgrades
The Cable Modem software upgrade process is documented in [16]. From
a network management station, the operator:
o sets docsDevSwServer to the address of the TFTP server for
software upgrades
o sets docsDevSwFilename to the file pathname of the software
upgrade image
o sets docsDevSwAdminStatus to upgrade-from-mgt
One reason for the SNMP-initiated upgrade is to allow loading of a
temporary software image (e.g., special diagnostic software) that
differs from the software normally used on that device without
changing the provisioning database.
Note that software upgrades should not be accepted blindly by the
cable device. The cable device may refuse an upgrade if:
o The download is incomplete.
o The file contents are incomplete or damaged.
o The software is not intended for that hardware device (may
include the case of a feature set that has not been purchased
for this device).
3.2.2. Events and Traps
This MIB provides control facilities for reporting events through
syslog, traps, and non-volatile logging. If events are reported
through traps, the specified conventions must be followed. Other
means of event reporting are outside the scope of this document.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 6
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
The definition and coding of events is vendor-specific. In deference
to the network operator who must troubleshoot multi-vendor networks,
the circumstances and meaning of each event should be reported as
human-readable text. Vendors SHOULD provide time-of-day clocks in
CMs to provide useful timestamping of events.
For each vendor-specific event that is reportable via TRAP, the
vendor must create an enterprise-specific trap definition. Trap
definitions MUST include the event reason encoded as DisplayString
and should be defined as:
trapName NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS {
ifIndex,
eventReason,
other useful objects
}
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"trap description"
::= Object Id
Note that ifIndex is only included if the event or trap is interface
related.
An example (fake) vendor defined trap might be:
xyzVendorModemDropout NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS {
eventReason,
xyzModemHighWatermarkCount
}
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Sent by a CMTS when a configurable number of modems
(xyzModemHysteresis) de-register or become unreachable during
the sampling period (5 minutes). Used to warn a management
station about a catastrophic cable plant outage."
::= { xyzTraps 23 }
In this example eventReason is a DisplayString providing a human
readable error message, and xyzModemHighWatermarkCount is a Gauge32
which indicates the maximum number of modems during the epoch.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 7
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
The last digit of the trap OID for enterprise-specific traps must
match docsDevEvId. For SNMPv1-capable Network Management systems,
this is necessary to correlate the event type to the trap type. Many
Network Management systems are only capable of trap filtering on an
enterprise and single-last-digit basis.
3.2.3. Trap Throttling
The CM and CMTS MUST provide support for trap message throttling as
described below. The network operator can employ message rate
throttling or trap limiting by manipulating the appropriate MIB
variables.
3.2.3.1. Trap rate throttling
Network operators may employ either of two rate control methods. In
the first method, the device ceases to send traps when the rate
exceeds the specified maximum message rate. It resumes sending traps
only if reactivated by a network management station request.
In the second method, the device resumes sending traps when the rate
falls below the specified maximum message rate.
The network operator configures the specified maximum message rate by
setting the measurement interval (in seconds), and the maximum number
of traps to be transmitted within the measurement interval. The
operator can query the operational throttling state (to determine
whether traps are enabled or blocked by throttling) of the device, as
well as query and set the administrative throttling state (to manage
the rate control method) of the device.
3.2.3.2. Limiting the trap rate
Network operators may wish to limit the number of traps sent by a
device over a specified time period. The device ceases to send traps
when the number of traps exceeds the specified threshold. It resumes
sending traps only when the measurement interval has passed.
The network operator defines the maximum number of traps he is
willing to handle and sets the measurement interval to a large number
(in hundredths of a second). For this case, the administrative
throttling state is set to stop at threshold which is the maximum
number of traps.
See "Techniques for Managing Asynchronously Generated Alerts" [17]
for further information.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 8
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
3.3. Protocol Filters
The Cable Device MIB provides objects for both LLC and IP protocol
filters. The LLC protocol filter entries can be used to limit CM
forwarding to a restricted set of network-layer protocols (such as
IP, IPX, NetBIOS, and Appletalk).
The IP protocol filter entries can be used to restrict upstream or
downstream traffic based on source and destination IP addresses,
transport-layer protocols (such as TCP, UDP, and ICMP), and source
and destination TCP/UDP port numbers.
In general, a cable modem applies filters (or more properly,
classifiers) in an order appropriate to the layering model.
Specifically, the inbound MAC (or LLC) layer filters are applied
first, then the "special" filters, then the IP layer inbound filters,
then the IP layer outbound filters, then any final LLC outbound
filters. Since the cable modem does not generally do any IP
processing (other than that specified by the filters) the processing
of the IP in filters and IP out filters can usually be combined into
a single step.

St. Johns Standards PAGE 9
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
3.3.1. Inbound LLC Filters - docsDevFilterLLCTable
The inbound LLC (or MAC or level-2) filters are contained in the
docsDevFilterLLCTable and are applied to level-2 frames entering the
cable modem from either the RF MAC interface or from one of the CPE
(ethernet or other) interfaces. These filters are used to prohibit
the processing and forwarding of certain types of level-2 traffic
that may be disruptive to the network. The filters, as currently
specified, can be set to cause the modem to either drop frames which
match at least one filter, or to process a frame which matches at
least filter. Some examples of possible configurations would be to
only permit IP (and ARP) traffic, or to drop NETBUEI traffic.
3.3.2. Special Filters
Special filters are applied after the packet is accepted from the MAC
layer by the IP module, but before any other processing is done.
They are filters that apply only to a very specific class of traffic.
3.3.2.1. IP Spoofing Filters - docsDevCpeTable
IP spoofing filters are applied to packets entering the modem from
one of the CPE interfaces and are intended to prevent a subscriber
from stealing or mis-using IP addresses that were not assigned to the
subscriber. If the filters are active (enabled), the source address
of the IP packet must match at least one IP address in this table or
it is discarded without further processing.
The table can be automatically populated where the first N different
IP addresses seen from the CPE side of the cable modem are used to
automatically populate the table. The spoofing filters are specified
in the docsDevCpeTable and the policy for automatically creating
filters in that table is controlled by docsDevCpeEnroll and
docsDevCpeMax as well as the network management agent.
3.3.2.2. SNMP Access Filters - docsDevNmAccessTable
The SNMP access filters are applied to SNMP packets entering from any
interface and destined for the cable modem. If the packets enter
from a CPE interface, the SNMP filters are applied after the IP
spoofing filters. The filters only apply to SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c
traffic, and are not consulted for SNMPv3 traffic (and need not be
implemented by a v3 only agent). SNMPv3 access control is specified
in the User Security Model MIB in [12].
St. Johns Standards PAGE 10
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
3.3.3. IP Filtering - docsDevIpFilterTable
The IP Filtering table acts as a classifier table. Each row in the
table describes a template against which IP packets are compared.
The template includes source and destination addresses (and their
associated masks), upper level protocol (e.g. TCP, UDP), source and
destination port ranges, TOS and TOS mask. A row also contains
interface and traffic direction match values which have to be
considered in combination. All columns of a particular row must
match the appropriate fields in the packet, and must match the
interface and direction items for the packet to result in a match to
the packet.
When classifying a packet, the table is scanned beginning with the
lowest number filter. If the agent finds a match, it applies the
group of policies specified. If the matched filter has the continue
bit set, the agent continues the scan possibly matching additional
filters and applying additional policies. This allows the agent to
take one set of actions for the 24.0.16/255.255.255.0 group and one
set of actions for telnet packets to/from 24.0.16.30 and these sets
of actions may not be mutually exclusive.
Once a packet is matched, one of three actions happen based on the
setting of docsDevFilterIpControl in the row. The packet may be
dropped, in which case no further processing is required. The packet
may be accepted and processing of the packet continues. Lastly, the
packet may have a set of policy actions applied to it. If
docsDevFilterIpContinue is set to true, scanning of the table
continues and additional matches may result.
When a packet matches, and docsDevFilterIpControl in the filter
matched is set to 'policy', the value of docsDevFilterIpPolicyId is
used as a selector into the docsDevFilterPolicyTable. The first
level of indirection may result in zero or more actions being taken
based on the match. The docsDevFilterPolicyTable is scanned in row
order and all rows where docsDevFilterPolicyId equals
docsDevFilterIpPolicyId have the action specified by
docsDevFilterPolicyValue 'executed'. For example, a value pointing
to an entry in the docsDevFilterTosTable may result in the re-writing
of the TOS bits in the IP packet which was matched. Another
possibility may be to assign an output packet to a specific output
upstream queue. An even more complex action might be to re-write the
TOS value, assign the packet to an upstream service ID, and drop it
into a particular IPSEC tunnel.

50, 0/0, 0/0, any, any,any, 4/255, cpe/in, 30
# Inbound "server" traffic to low numbered ports gets dropped.
60, 0/0, 0/0, TCP, any,1-1023, 0/0, cpe/out, drop
65, 0/0, 0/0, UDP, any,1-1023, 0/0, cpe/out, drop
docsDevFilterIpPolicyTable
#
# index, policy group, policy
10, 10, queueEntry.20 -- special queue for traffic to proxy
15, 20, queueEntry.15 -- Gold Service queue
20, 20, docsDevFilterTosStatus.10 -- Mark this packet with TOS 5
25, 30, queueEntry.10 -- Silver service queue
This table describes some special processing for packets originating
from either the first or second CPE device which results in their
queuing on to special upstream traffic queues and for the "gold"
service results in having the packets marked with a TOS of 5. The
10, 20, 60 and 65 entries are generic entries that would generally be
applied to all traffic to this CM. The 30, 40 and 45 entries are
specific to a particular CPE's service assignments. The ordering
here is a bit contrived, but is close to what may actually be
required by the operator to control various classes of customers.
St. Johns Standards PAGE 12
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
3.3.4. Outbound LLC Filters
Lastly, any outbound LLC filters are applied to the packet just prior
to it being emitted on the appropriate interface. This MIB does not
specify any outbound LLC filters, but it is anticipated that the QOS
additions to the DOCSIS standard may include some outbound LLC
filtering requirements. If so, those filters would be applied as
described here.

"An ordered list of filters or classifiers to apply to

policy 0 in the docsDevFilterPolicyTable applied to them if
it exists. Otherwise, Packets which match no filters
are discarded or forwarded according to the setting of
docsDevFilterIpDefault.
Any IP packet can theoretically match multiple rows of
St. Johns Standards PAGE 32
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
this table. When considering a packet, the table is
scanned in row index order (e.g. filter 10 is checked
before filter 20). If the packet matches that filter
(which means that it matches ALL criteria for that row),
actions appropriate to docsDevFilterIpControl and
docsDevFilterPolicyId are taken. If the packet was
discarded processing is complete. If
docsDevFilterIpContinue is set to true, the filter
comparison continues with the next row in the table
looking for additional matches.
If the packet matches no filter in the table, the packet
is accepted or dropped for further processing based on
the setting of docsDevFilterIpDefault. If the packet is
accepted, the actions specified by policy group 0
(e.g. the rows in docsDevFilterPolicyTable which have a
value of 0 for docsDevFilterPolicyId) are taken if that
policy group exists.
Logically, this table is consulted twice during the
processing of any IP packet - once upon its acceptance
from the L2 entity, and once upon its transmission to the
L2 entity. In actuality, for cable modems, IP filtering
is generally the only IP processing done for transit
traffic. This means that inbound and outbound filtering
can generally be done at the same time with one pass
through the filter table."

This says that a packet which matches a filter with
policy id 1, first has TOS policy 1 applied (which might
set the TOS bits to enable a higher priority), and next
has the IPSEC policy 3 applied (which may result in the

permitted management stations, or affect other end-users in either a
positive or negative manner.
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such
objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
network operations. In addition to those mentioned above:
o The use of docsDevNmAccessTable to specify management stations
is considered to be only limited protection and does not protect
against attacks which spoof the management station's IP address.
The use of stronger mechanisms such as SNMPv3 security should be
considered where possible. Specifically, SNMPv3 VACM and USM
MUST be used with any v3 agent which implements this MIB.
Administrators may also wish to consider whether even read
access to docsDevNmAccessTable may be undesirable under certain
circumstances.
o The CM may have its software changed by the actions of the
management system. An improper software load may result in
substantial vulnerabilities and the loss of the ability of the
management system to control the cable modem.
o The device may be reset by setting docsDevResetNow = true(1).
This causes the device to reload its configuration files as well
as eliminating all previous non-persistent network management
settings. As such, this may provide a vector for attacking the
system.
o Setting docsDevEvThrottleAdminStatus = unconstrained(1) (which
is also the DEFVAL) may cause flooding of traps, which can
disrupt network service.
This MIB does not affect confidentiality of services on a cable modem
system. [20] specifies the implementation of the DOCSIS Baseline
privacy mechanism. The working group expects to issue a MIB for the
management of this mechanism at a later time.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no
control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and
GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.

RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model [12] and the View-based Access
Control Model [15] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
(change/create/delete) them.
