esafePsCableHomeModeControl

Module: ESAFE-MIB

OID (symbolic): ESAFE-MIB::esafePsCableHomeModeControl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.14.1.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object provides control over the mode of operation of the CableHome ePS eSAFE element of the eDOCSIS compliant device.

When this object is set to disabledMode(1), the ePS eSAFE element is instructed to switch to CableHome Disabled Mode operation.

When this object is set to provSystem(2), the ePS eSAFE element restarts its provisioning process.

When this object is set to dormantCHMode(3), the ePS eSAFE element is instructed to switch to CableHome Dormant Mode operation. In this mode the ePS restarts its provisioning process omitting CableHome-specific DHCP Options 60 and 43 in the DHCP DISCOVER and DHCP REQUEST messages, acquires an IP address lease from the cable operator's DHCP server, and operates in unmanaged Dormant CableHome Mode regardless of the values of the file and siaddr fields or of the values of DHCP options that might otherwise configure the ePS to operate in DHCP Provisioning Mode or in SNMP Provisioning Mode.

The value of this object MUST persist across cable modem resets.

What is esafePsCableHomeModeControl?

This control object sets the operating mode of the CableHome ePS eSAFE element. An admin sets disabledMode(1) to turn CableHome operation off, provSystem(2) to force the ePS to restart its provisioning process, or dormantCHMode(3) to run without CableHome-specific DHCP options while still leasing an IP address; the chosen value must persist across cable modem resets. For example, setting it to provSystem(2) forces a re-provisioning attempt after fixing a DHCP server misconfiguration, without rebooting the whole cable modem.
