Description: ARRIS D5 video platform software license entitlement and feature activation management.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is ARRIS-D5-LICENSE-MIB?

ARRIS-D5-LICENSE-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Arris International that configures and monitors feature licensing on the ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM (UEQ), a cable headend device used to modulate video and DOCSIS traffic onto RF carriers. It models license state through the d5LicenseAllocationTable (licenses allocated versus in-use per D5LicenseType, e.g. qamQuadToHex, qamHexToOctal, qamQuadToOctal), the d5LicenseInUseTable tracking individual in-use license instances with RowStatus lifecycle control, and the d5LicMgrAllocationTable breaking allocations down by requesting license manager, alongside configuration scalars like d5LicenseTrapDelay and d5LicenseTrapResendRate. Because UEQ capacity features (such as QAM channel density conversions) are gated by license, monitoring this MIB reveals whether the device has enough permanent licenses or is relying on temporary/grace-period licenses that could expire and disable capacity mid-operation — information exposed via the d5LMNoKeyAvailable and d5LMServicePeriodExpire notifications. It depends on the ARRIS-MIB enterprise tree for its parent OID (arrisD5UEQam) and is deployed in cable operator headends alongside DOCSIS CMTS and video-on-demand infrastructure. Cable engineers managing D5 UEQ license pools can download the ARRIS-D5-LICENSE-MIB file to track allocation exhaustion before it affects service.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ARRIS-D5-LICENSE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

ARRIS D5 Universal Edge QAM (UEQ)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls d5LicensesAllocated and d5LicensesInUse for a given d5LicenseAllocationType to see whether temporary licenses are propping up capacity beyond the permanent pool; receipt of a d5LMNoKeyAvailable trap combined with d5LicensesInUse exceeding d5LicensesAllocated indicates the free license pool is exhausted and additional QAM conversion features cannot be activated.

What Can Be Monitored

license allocation vs. in-use counts by type
temporary license grace-period expiry
license manager allocation breakdown
license-exhaustion notifications
row status of in-use license entries

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
d5LicenseMib	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22			This MIB contains objects to configure and monitor licensing of features on the ARRIS D5 UEQ.
d5LicenseConfigurationGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1			A collection of objects providing configuration of D5 license management.
D5E d5LicenseTrapDelay	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1.1	D5EncryptedType	read-write	The delay before the generation of an SNMP TRAP requesting additional licenses after the current allocation has been exhausted. No TRAP will be generated if the resend rate is zero.
D5E d5LicenseTrapResendRate	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1.2	D5EncryptedType	read-write	The rate at which TRAPs are resent, specified as the period between TRAPs. A value of zero will suppress the generation of any TRAPs.
D5E d5LicenseTimeToLive	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1.3	D5EncryptedType	read-write	The TTL or grace period to use for temporary licenses.
D5E d5LicenseRemotePublicKey	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1.4	D5EncryptionKeyType	read-write	The public key used to encrypt license information requested from the D5 UEQ.
D5E d5LicenseLocalPublicKey	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.1.5	D5EncryptionKeyType	read-only	The public key used to encrypt license allocations sent to the D5 UEQ.
d5LicenseAllocationTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2		not-accessible	This table lists license allocations on the D5 UEQ.
d5LicenseAllocationEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2.1		not-accessible	An entry for the D5 license allocation table.
D5L d5LicenseAllocationType	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2.1.1	D5LicenseType	read-only	Type of license allocated.
D5E d5LicensesAllocated	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2.1.2	D5EncryptedType	read-write	The total number of licenses in this allocation.
U32 d5LicensesInUse	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2.1.3	Unsigned32	read-only	The number of licenses in this allocation that is currently in use. A higher number in use than allocated indicates the presence of temporary licenses. The number of temporary licenses can be determined by subtracting d5LicensesAllocated from d5LicensesInUse.
OCT d5LicMgrId	1.3.6.1.4.1.4115.1.8.1.22.2.1.4	OCTET STRING	read-write	Identifier of the license manager making this allocation.
