Category: Domain: CATV/Cable, Domain: Security, Standard: DOCSIS

Description: Manages DOCSIS Baseline Privacy Interface Plus (BPI+) security for cable modem encryption and authentication.

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 DOCS-BPI2-MIB?

DOCS-BPI2-MIB is the DOCSIS Baseline Privacy Plus (BPI+) MIB, defining basic and authorization-related privacy attributes for each cable modem's MAC interface. Its cable-modem base table reports whether privacy is enabled, the modem's public key, current authorization state, key sequence number, old/new authorization-key expiration times, and grace-time/reset controls. As a security-status MIB it lets a cable operator confirm a modem's BPI+ authorization state and watch for authorization failures or unexpected resets that would indicate a provisioning or certificate problem. It is deployed on DOCSIS cable modems and CMTS platforms implementing Baseline Privacy Plus encryption. Engineers can download the DOCS-BPI2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DOCS-BPI2-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

  • DOCSIS cable modems and CMTS platforms (Baseline Privacy Plus)

Monitoring Examples

A cable operator checks docsBpi2CmAuthState for a modem reporting intermittent connectivity to confirm whether repeated BPI+ re-authorization (rather than an RF issue) is the underlying cause.

What Can Be Monitored

  • BPI+ authorization state and key expiration
