Description: Manages Layer 2 CMTS (L2CM) feature configuration enabling distributed cable modem termination on ARRIS/Cadant equipment.

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 CADANT-CMTS-LAYER2CMTS-MIB?

CADANT-CMTS-LAYER2CMTS-MIB is an ARRIS/Cadant enterprise MIB for cable network equipment that manages Layer 2 CMTS (L2CM) bridging features on Cadant Cable Modem Termination System platforms. It exposes bridge-group and bridge-port configuration, the policy for assigning ISP subnet addresses per bridge group, and per-bridge-group spanning tree support, effectively modeling how cable modem traffic is segmented and bridged upstream. Its monitoring value centers on configuration/operational status rather than hardware sensors: bridge group row status (active/creating/destroying), bridge group naming, MAC address assignment, and per-bridge-group traffic statistics reveal whether Layer 2 segmentation for a given ISP or service group is correctly provisioned and passing traffic. It builds on and complements DOCSIS/CMTS-specific MIBs and standard BRIDGE-MIB/dot3ad conventions referenced for spanning tree and link aggregation, and MSO engineers configuring a new bridge group frequently open a CADANT-CMTS-LAYER2CMTS-MIB MIB Browser session to check the cadBridgeGroupTable column definitions beforehand. It is deployed by cable MSOs managing Cadant/ARRIS CMTS chassis providing broadband cable modem service.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CADANT-CMTS-LAYER2CMTS-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/Cadant Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll cadBridgeGroupTable/cadBridgeGroupEntry, keyed by cadBgIndex, to check cadBgName and cadBgRowStatus for each configured bridge group, confirming a group is active rather than stuck in a notInService state. cadBridgeGroupStatsTable/cadBridgeGroupStatsEntry provides per-bridge-group statistics such as cadBgLeaderBgpId and cadBgMacAddress useful for verifying bridging topology, while cadBridgePortTable shows which physical/logical ports belong to each bridge group. A bridge group with an unexpected row status or missing ports would indicate a misconfigured cable modem termination segment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • bridge group configuration status
  • bridge group name
  • bridge port assignment
  • bridge group MAC address
  • spanning tree participation
  • bridge group traffic statistics
