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 SNMP-
   based (Simple Network Management Protocol) management of the Baseline
   Privacy Interface (BPI), which provides data privacy for DOCSIS 1.0
   (Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications) compliant Cable
   Modems and Cable Modem Termination Systems.  This MIB is defined as
   an extension to the DOCSIS Radio Frequency Interface MIB, RFC 2670.

   This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant to the
   SMIv2 (Structure of Management Information Version 2).  The set of
   objects is consistent with the SNMP framework and existing SNMP
   standards.

   CableLabs requires the implementation of this MIB in DOCSIS 1.0 cable
   modems that implement the Baseline Privacy Interface, as a
   prerequisite for DOCSIS 1.0 certification.
