Abstract This memo defines an experimental 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 SNMP-based management of DOCSIS-compliant[16] Cable Modem Termination Systems. These managed objects facilitate protection of the cable network from misuse by subscribers. This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is compliant to the SNMP SMIv2 [5][6][7]. The set of objects are consistent with the SNMP framework and existing SNMP standards. This memo is a product of the IPCDN working group within the Internet Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working group's mailing list at ipcdn@terayon.com and/or the authors.

Author's Addresses................................................23 1. The SNMP Network Management Framework The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components: o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1]. o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7]. o Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574 [12]. o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13]. o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [15]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. Expires January 2001 [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB July 2000 This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB MUST be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB. 2. Overview This MIB provides a set of objects required for the management of DOCSIS Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS). The specification is derived in part from the operational model described in the DOCSIS Radio Frequency Interface Specification [16]. These managed objects facilitate protection of the cable network from misuse by subscribers. Much of this MIB duplicates capabilities found in the DOCSIS Cable Device MIB [17]. While it is expected that the Cable Device MIB will be used to prevent unwanted traffic from entering the cable network, it is also possible that a malicious user might tamper with cable modem software, disabling its filtering policies. This MIB provides a more secure mechanism, since physical access to the CMTS is controlled by the network operator. In particular, this MIB provides two capabilities: first, to limit the IP addresses behind a modem, and, second, to provide protocol filtering to and from a modem. The first duplicates the capabilities of the docsDevCpe group [17]. This provides for either learned or provisioned subscriber premises host IP addresses behind a cable modem. The filtering capability is similar to that provided in docsDevFilter [17]. Rather than maintaining a separate list of filters for each modem at the CMTS, however, it is assumed that large numbers of modems will share filtering characteristics. Therefore, modems are grouped so as to share common filter lists. 2.1. Structure of the MIB This MIB is structured in five tables: o The docsSubMgtCpeControlTable controls the acceptance of subscriber host addresses behind a cable modem. o The docsSubMgtCpeIpTable monitors the subscriber host addresses which the CMTS believes to exist behind the cable modem. o The docsSubMgtPktFilterTable specifies filtering criteria which can be applied to packets destined to or originating from a cable modem. Expires January 2001 [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB July 2000 o The docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable augments docsSubMgtPktFilterTable with optional TCP or UDP port filtering criteria. o The docsSubMgtCmFilterTable binds a cable modem to an ordered list of filters from docsSubMgtPktFilterTable. The docsSubMgtCpeControlTable, docsSubMgtCpeIpTable, and docsSubMgtCmFilterTable augment the docsIfCmtsCmStatusTable from [18]. As such, each entry in these tables is bound to a registered cable modem, as perceived by the CMTS. The docsSubMgtPktFilterTable uses two indices. The first identifies the group to which a cable modem may be bound. The second is the ordering of filter criteria within each group. Any number of modems may be bound to the same group. 2.2. Management requirements The DOCSIS cable modem provisioning model requires that cable modems use TFTP to acquire a list of parameters. The modem then passes many of these parameters to the CMTS in the DOCSIS Registration message. The parameter values are digitally signed by the creator of the TFTP contents, and the signature is verified by the CMTS. In general, then, the CMTS need not itself be configured with the attributes of its cable modems. It will acquire these values through the Registration process that is secured by the digital signature. Cable modem subscriber management, as described here, modifies this process slightly for reasons of data reduction and ease of administrative control. In the case of filtering management, for example, the tables are maintained through SNMP at the CMTS, and the modem registration merely signals the index values for the rows that apply to that modem. 2.2.1. Interaction with DOCSIS provisioning for CPE address control Rows in docsSubMgtCpeControlTable are created by the CMTS for each modem as a result of the DOCSIS registration process. The DOCSIS registration attributes may include items semantically equivalent to those in the DocsDevCpe branch of the DOCSIS Cable Device MIB [17]: o docsDevCpeEnroll o docsDevCpeIpMax o docsDevCpeIp Successful DOCSIS registration shall have the effect of setting the corresponding fields in the docsSubMgtCpeControlTable and the docsSubMgtCpeIpTable. If not present, the default at registration shall be to set docsSubMgtCpeControlActive to false. Rows in docsSubMgtCpeIpTable are created through any of three ways: DOCSIS registration (as described above), learning by the CMTS, or Expires January 2001 [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB July 2000 through some unspecified administrative mechanism on the CMTS. The docsDevCpeIpMax table bound applies only to the first two. The CMTS may learn addresses by simply snooping source IP addresses from each cable modem. Other learning mechanisms (for example, ARP snooping) may be used. The learning mechanism is not defined by this document. 2.2.2. Interaction with DOCSIS provisioning for filtering Rows in docsSubMgtCmFilterTable are created by the CMTS for each modem as a result of the DOCSIS registration process. The DOCSIS registration attributes may include four indices: o one identifying the upstream filter group for packets originating from the cable modem (i.e., those packets whose source MAC address matches that of the cable modem). o one identifying the upstream filter group for packets originating from subscribers attached to the cable modem (i.e., those packets whose source MAC address does not match that of the cable modem). o one identifying the downstream filter group for packets destined to the cable modem (i.e., those packets whose destination MAC address matches that of the cable modem). o one identifying the downstream filter group for packets destined to subscribers attached to the cable modem (i.e., those packets whose destination MAC address does not match that of the cable modem). Successful registration shall have the effect of setting docsSubMgtCmFilterDownstream, docsSubMgtCmFilterUpstream, docsSubMgtSubFilterDownstream, and docsSubMgtSubFilterUpstream, for that modem (just as if set through the SNMP protocol). If the DOCSIS attributes are not present, the effect shall be to set the modem's filter groups to the values of docsSubMgtCmFilterUpDefault, docsSubMgtCmFilterDownDefault, docsSubMgtSubFilterUpDefault, and docsSubMgtSubFilterDownDefault. 2.2.3. Distinguishing Modem from Subscriber Traffic All traffic originating from or destined to a subscriber site is potentially suspect, and subject to suppression by the network operator. This is true even if the traffic is ostensibly sourced or sunk by the cable modem itself, rather than the subscriber hosts behind the modem. To provide more nuanced administrative control, this document allows separate filter policies for modems and hosts. For example, modem policies may limit modems to server-subnet-only access, while allowing a different scope to subscribers. The CMTS chooses the filter set to apply based solely on the MAC address (source MAC upstream, destination MAC downstream). If the MAC address matches that of the modem, then the docsSubMgtCmFilterUp/Downstream pair is used; otherwise the Expires January 2001 [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB July 2000 docsSubMgtSubFilterUp/Downstream pair is applied. If the CM acts as a router rather than as a DOCSIS bridging forwarder, then the network operator will only use the docsSubMgtCmFilterUp/Downstream pair. 2.2.4. Row Existence of docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable The docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable exists apart from the docsSubMgtPktFilterTable because its filtering criteria is expected to be applied to a minority of modems relative to docsSubMgtPktFilterTable. It is separate in order to emphasize this expectation to both CMTS vendors and network operators. The rules for row creation are: o Row creation in docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable is disallowed unless the corresponding row in docsSubMgtPktFilterTable already exists (or that row is being created simultaneously in the same SNMP SET message). o Deletion of the row in docsSubMgtPktFilterTable deletes the corresponding row in docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable. o Row creation for docsSubMgtPktFilterTable does not create the corresponding row in docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable. o Row deletion of docsSubMgtTcpUdpFilterTable does not delete the corresponding row in docsSubMgtPktFilterTable. 2.2.5. Notes on Table Bounds Throughout this document, index bounds for both filter groups and filters within a group are arbitrarily set at 1024. This does not impose a minimum requirement, but is chosen to be sufficiently large for any expected implementation. It is expected that the Data over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) process will define minimum-supported-size bounds for these objects for DOCSIS-compliant devices, but that is beyond the scope of this document. Early DOCSIS discussions anticipated a requirement for thirty groups of twenty filters each. Similarly, the maximum number of CPE addresses is arbitrarily bounded at 1024, although the corresponding modem table for the cable device MIB [17] is bounded at 16. 3.

Security Considerations This MIB is intended to limit certain kinds of network behavior by subscriber hosts attached to cable modems, including, for example, IP spoofing. These limitations may be compromised, however, if the cable modem's identity or registration process is spoofed. The DOCSIS RFI and privacy specifications [16], [19], and [20] define a number of mechanisms for assuring modem identity. There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such Expires January 2001 [Page 22] INTERNET-DRAFT DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB July 2000 objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB. It is recommended that the implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View- based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended. It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them. 7.
