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 basic set of managed objects for Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based management of PacketCable-
and IPCablecom-compliant Multimedia Terminal Adapter devices.

RFC 4682 IPCDN MTA MIB December 2006
1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL", when used in the guidelines in this memo, are to be
interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
The terms "MIB module" and "information module" are used
interchangeably in this memo. As used here, both terms refer to any
of the three types of information modules defined in Section 3 of RFC
2578 [RFC2578].
Some of the terms used in this memo are defined below. Some
additional terms are also defined in the PacketCable MTA Device
Provisioning Specification [PKT-SP-PROV] and the PacketCable Security
Specification [PKT-SP-SEC].
DOCSIS
The CableLabs(R) Certified(TM) Cable Modem project, also known as
DOCSIS(R) (Data over Cable Service Interface Specification), defines
interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data
distribution over cable television system networks. DOCSIS also
refers to the ITU-T J.112 recommendation, Annex B, for cable modem
systems [ITU-T-J112].
Cable Modem
A Cable Modem (CM) acts as a data transport agent used to transfer
call management and voice data packets over a DOCSIS-compliant cable
system.
Multimedia Terminal Adapter
A Multimedia Terminal Adapter (MTA) is a PacketCable- or IPCablecom-
compliant device providing telephony services over a cable or hybrid
