Description: The table of IP filters to be applied to traffic originating from or destined to this device. The fields in this table are loosely based on a subset of the fields in the docsDevFilterIpTable as defined in the DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB. The key difference is that the filters described by the cmHostIpFilterTable are not applied to bridged traffic, but rather to traffic which is sent from or received by the cablemodem itself, acting in a role as a host.

This table may be used to restrict certain IP traffic (eg SNMP, TFTP, telnet, etc.) from being accessible via the CPE and / or HFC interfaces. Note that all filters will be applied to all IP addresses associated with this host.

Caution must be exercised in the use of this table. For example, it is possible to render the device unmanageable if SNMP is prohibited over both CPE and CM interfaces.
