Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a set of managed objects for Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) based management of the Radio Frequency
(RF) interfaces for systems compliant with the Data Over Cable
Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS).
