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.

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. *************** * LLC Filters * *************** | | | v | v ************ | *************** * IP Spoof * | * SNMP Access * ************ | *************** | | | v v v **************** * IP Filter In * **************** | v ***************** * IP Filter Out * ***************** | v *********** * LLC Out * *********** 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. St. Johns Standards [Page 11]
RFC 2669 DOCSIS Cable Device MIB August 1999 Example: docsDevFilterIpTable # Index, SrcIP/Mask, DstIP/Mask,ULP, SrcPts,DstPts,Tos/Mask, # Int/Dir, Pgroup, [continue] # drop any netbios traffic 10, 0/0, 0/0, TCP, any, 137-139, 0/0, any/any, drop # traffic to the proxy gets better service - other matches possible 20, 0/0, proxy/32, TCP, any,any, 0/0, cpe/in, 10, continue # Traffic from CPE 1 gets 'Gold' service, other matches possible 30, cpe1/32, 0/0, any, any,any, 0/0, cpe/in, 20, continue # Traffic from CPE2 to work goes, other traffic dropped 40, cpe2/32, workIPs/24, any, 0/0, cpe/in, accept 45, cpe2/32, 0/0, any, any,ayn, 0/0, cpe/in, drop # Traffic with TOS=4 gets queued on the "silver" queue. 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. 4.

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. 8.
