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 BRCM-CM-MGMT-MIB?

BRCM-CM-MGMT-MIB is a Broadcom proprietary MIB for runtime management of cable modems built on Broadcom DOCSIS chipsets, complementing the standard DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB and DOCS-IF-MIB. Its data spans configuration capacity (supported IP/LLC filter counts), feature toggles (mini-firewall, extended DSD retry, CPE interface selection), maintenance controls (factory reset, time-of-day refresh interval), and downstream-channel codeword-error-rate statistics. As a hardware/software-status MIB it lets an operator both configure modem behavior remotely and watch downstream codeword error rate as an early indicator of RF signal quality problems. It is deployed on cable modems using Broadcom DOCSIS silicon. Engineers can download the BRCM-CM-MGMT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BRCM-CM-MGMT-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

  • Cable modems built on Broadcom DOCSIS chipsets

Monitoring Examples

A cable operator monitors cmDsChanInfoCodewordErrorRate per downstream channel to catch RF plant signal-quality degradation before it escalates into full loss of sync for affected subscribers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • downstream channel codeword error rate
  • modem feature/configuration toggles

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cmHostIpFilterMatches OID:

Select a Broadcom-chipset DOCSIS cable modems/gateway as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cmHostIpFilterMatches into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. Counts the number of times this filter was matched. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
