Subscriber Management MIB

1
Subscriber Management MIB

• IPCDN Working Group
• November 2002

2
Draft -07 Rationale

• Response to MIB doctor review in preparation for
  submission as Proposed Standard RFC
• Attempts to answer most of the concerns
  identified by Bert Wijnen. Review is still
  ongoing.

3
What changed for -07

• Clarified population of entries which augment
  docsIfCmtsCmStatusEntry values set at
  Registration meaningless if not registered.
• RFC 3291 convention for IP addresses replaces RFC
  2851 (in particular, see InetPortNumber
  convention for TCP/UDP ports)
• Root mib-2 XX - not implementable until RFC

4
What changed for -07 (cont)

• StorageType - minimally mandates nonVolatile for
  filters. (also DEFVALnonVolatile)
• Index ranges widened (1024-gt2147483647) but
  compliance requirement is 16 addresses, 20
  filters, 30 groups.
• Numerous minor touchups.

5
Going Forward

• Mib Dr.s concern about possible duplication with
  RFC 2669 - can filters and CPE address control
  use a common MIB? (editor thinks no, but WG input
  is welcomed)
• Possible concern about stated lack of support for
  IPv6.
• Need WG input on changes and clarifications.
  (editors notion of clarification may not match
  the expectation of the WG)
• CableLabs compliance stays at the -02 draft until
  this is issued as RFC.
