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.

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.

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.

   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.

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.

             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

             and are applied in the order in which they are in this

             docsDevFilterPolicyTable exists to allow multiple policy
             actions to be applied to any given classified packet. The
             policy actions are applied in index order For example:

             Index   ID    Type    Action
              1      1      TOS     1

              12     1      IPSEC   3

             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

             packet being dumped into a secure VPN to a remote
             encryptor).

7.  Security Considerations

   This MIB relates to a system which will provide metropolitan public
   internet access.  As such, improper manipulation of the objects
   represented by this MIB may result in denial of service to a large
   number of end-users.  In addition, manipulation of the



St. Johns                      Standards                       [Page 52]



RFC 2669                DOCSIS Cable Device MIB              August 1999


   docsDevNmAccessTable, docsDevFilterLLCTable, docsDevFilterIpTable and
   the elements of the docsDevCpe group may allow an end-user to
   increase their service levels, spoof their IP addresses, change 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.




St. Johns                      Standards                       [Page 53]



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.
