docsDevRole

Module: DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB::docsDevRole

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Defines the current role of this device. cm(1) is a Cable Modem, cmtsActive(2) is a Cable Modem Termination System that is controlling the system of cable modems, and cmtsBackup(3) is a CMTS that is currently connected but is not controlling the system (not currently used).

In general, if this device is a 'cm', its role will not change during operation or between reboots. If the device is a 'cmts' it may change between cmtsActive and cmtsBackup and back again during normal operation. NB: At this time, the DOCSIS standards do not support the concept of a backup CMTS, but cmtsBackup is included for completeness.

What is docsDevRole?

Reports whether this DOCSIS device is a cable modem (cm), an active CMTS controlling the system (cmtsActive), or a standby CMTS not currently in control (cmtsBackup, included for completeness though not used by the DOCSIS standard). A cable modem's role stays fixed for its lifetime, while a CMTS could in principle toggle between active and backup roles.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB::docsDevRole

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB::docsDevRole.1
