Description: Manages DOCSIS 3.0 subscriber management with enhanced CPE control and multi-service subscriber policies.

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-SUBMGT3-MIB?

DOCS-SUBMGT3-MIB is a CableLabs DOCSIS 3.0 MIB extending subscriber management (CPE control) to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic between the CMTS and cable modems/CPE devices behind them. It exposes default policy objects controlling maximum CPE address/prefix counts, whether CPE learning and active enforcement are on, and per-device-type (CM, CPE, PS, MTA) upstream/downstream filter defaults. Its monitoring value is subscriber-policy/software status: confirming whether CPE-control policy defaults, such as maximum IPv6 addresses/prefixes per CPE, match provisioning intent helps diagnose a subscriber whose additional devices are being blocked or a CPE exceeding allowed address counts, rather than reporting hardware sensor data. It depends on and extends the base DOCSIS subscriber-management MIB for IPv6 and multi-device-type support. It is deployed on CMTS headend equipment in cable operator networks offering DOCSIS 3.0 service with subscriber-side device control. Engineers can download the DOCS-SUBMGT3-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DOCS-SUBMGT3-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 3.0 CMTS headend equipment

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll docsSubmgt3BaseCpeMaxIpv4Def and docsSubmgt3BaseCpeMaxIpv6AddressesDef/docsSubmgt3BaseCpeMaxIpv6PrefixesDef to confirm the default maximum CPE address/prefix counts permitted per cable modem; docsSubmgt3BaseCpeActiveDef and docsSubmgt3BaseCpeLearnableDef would be checked to see whether CPE enforcement and MAC learning are enabled by default, and per-device-type filter defaults such as docsSubmgt3BaseCmFilterDownDef/UpDef or docsSubmgt3BaseMtaFilterDownDef/UpDef would reveal which default packet filters apply to cable modems versus MTAs, useful when a subscriber's VoIP device unexpectedly loses connectivity due to a filter mismatch.

What Can Be Monitored

  • default max CPE IPv4/IPv6 address and prefix counts
  • CPE active enforcement / learnable state
  • per-device-type (CM/CPE/PS/MTA) upstream/downstream filter defaults
  • subscriber filter policy configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using docsSubmgt3FilterGrpClassPkts OID:

Select a DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS headend equipment (subscriber CPE IPv4/IPv6 control, vendor-neutral CableLabs standard) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type docsSubmgt3FilterGrpClassPkts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. This attribute counts the number of packets that have been classified (matched) using this rule entry. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
