This table controls access to SNMP objects by network management stations. If the table is empty, access to SNMP objects is unrestricted. The objects in this table MUST NOT persist across reboots. The objects in this table are only accessible from cable devices that are not capable of operating in SNMP Coexistence mode (RFC 3584) or in SNMPv3 mode (RFC 3410). See the conformance section for details. Note that some devices are required by other specifications (e.g., the DOCSIS OSSIv1.1 specification) to support the legacy SNMPv1/v2c docsDevNmAccess mode for backward compatibility.

This table is deprecated. Instead, use the SNMP coexistence MIBs from RFC 3584, the TARGET and NOTIFICATION MIBs from RFC 3413, and the View-Based Access Control Model (VACM) MIBs for all SNMP protocol versions from RFC 3415.
