Module: DOCS-IF-M-CMTS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-IF-M-CMTS-MIB::docsIfMCmtsEqamDownstreamAllocationTimeout

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.6.1.3.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: Indicates the number of seconds the EQAM device waits before advertising the QAM channel resource is idle and/or accepting a session establishment from a different control plane to the previous one. As a side effect, the entry in docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigTable is aged out and destroyed only after the expiration of this reservation timeout. A value zero makes the resource available immediately for allocation to others.

Note that not explicit indefinite timeout needs to be defined to indicate exclusive allocation to a requester. The EQAM device can support this condition for example by configuring restricted access to certain Resource Allocation control plane to a particular IP host in the form of source IP or authentication mechanisms.

What is docsIfMCmtsEqamDownstreamAllocationTimeout?

Sets, in seconds (0-120), how long the EQAM waits after a session ends before it advertises the QAM channel as idle and lets a different control plane claim it; a value of 0 frees the resource immediately. An admin tunes this to avoid channel flapping between competing controllers, e.g. giving a short grace period before a video and a DOCSIS control plane can fight over the same channel.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
