TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

This data type represents the frequency. The unit is in KHz. A range of 5000KHz to 42000KHz is appropriate for a cable plant using a North American Sub-Split channel plan. The spectrum range has been expanded to accommodate an upper edge of 65000KHz for some European channel plans. The spectrum range has been further expanded with DOCSIS 3.0 to an upper edge of 85000KHz.If DOCSIS is extended to cover other types of channel plans (and frequency allocations) this object will be modified accordingly.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

This data type represents the actual measured frequency. The unit is in KHz.

TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

OBJECT-IDENTITY

OBJECT-IDENTITY

OBJECT-TYPE

The maximum number of flapped modem entries (ccsCmFlapEntry) per Cable downstream interface that can be reported in the ccsCmFlapTable. If the Cable downstream interface has more flapped modems than the ccsFlapListMaxSize, some of the flapped modems will not be shown in the ccsCmFlapTable. In this case, the users may want to increase the ccsFlapMaxSize.

OBJECT-TYPE

The total number of flapped modem entries (ccsCmFlapEntry) that reported in the ccsCmFlapTable. The maximum value will be ccsFlapListMaxSize * <no of downstreams>.

OBJECT-TYPE

The flap entry aging threshold. Periodically, the aging process scans through the flap list and removes the cable modems that have not flapped for that many minutes.

OBJECT-TYPE

The insertion-time is an empirically derived, worst-case number of seconds which the cable modem requires to complete registration. The time taken by cable modems to complete their registration is measured by the cable operators and this information helps to determine the insertion time. If the cable modem has not completed the registration stage within this insertion-time setting, the cable modem will be inserted into the flap-list.

OBJECT-TYPE

This table keeps the records of modem state changes. It can be used to identify the problematic cable modems. An entry can be deleted from the table but can not be added to the table.

OBJECT-TYPE

List of attributes for an entry in the ccsFlapTable. An entry in this table exists for each cable modem that triggered one of our flap detectors.

OBJECT-TYPE

MAC address of the Cable Modem's Cable interface which identifies a flap-list entry for a flapping Cable Modem.

OBJECT-TYPE

The ifIndex of the Cable upstream interface whose ifType is docsCableUpstream(129). The CMTS detects a flapping Cable Modem from its Cable upstream interface.

OBJECT-TYPE

The ifIndex of the Cable downstream interface whose ifType is docsCableDownstream(128).

OBJECT-TYPE

The number of times a Cable Modem registered more frequently than expected. Excessive registration is defined as the presence of a time span between two successive registration cycles which is less than a threshold span (ccsFlapInsertionTime). A Cable Modem may fail the ranging or registration process due to not being able to get an IP address. When the Cable Modem can not finish registration within the insertion time, it retries the process and sends the Initial Maintenance packet again. CMTS will receive the Initial Maintenance packet from the Cable Modem sooner than expected and the Cable Modem is considered a flapping modem. This count may indicate: Intermittent downstream sync loss, or DHCP or modem registration problems. The Flap Count (ccsFlapTotal) will be incremented when this counter is incremented. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

The number of times the CMTS receives the Ranging request from the Cable Modem. The CMTS issues a Station Maintenance transmit opportunity at a typical rate of once every 10 seconds and waits for a Ranging request from the Cable Modem.If the CMTS receives a Ranging request then the Hit count will be increased by 1 If the FlapTotal count is high,both Hits and Misses counts are high, and other counters are relatively low then the flapping is probably caused by the modem going up and down. The Hits and Misses counts are keep-alive polling statistics. The Hits count should be much greater than the Misses count Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

The number of times the CMTS misses the Ranging request from the Cable Modem. The CMTS issues a Station Maintenance packet every 10 seconds and waits for a Ranging request from the Cable Modem. If the CMTS misses a Ranging request within 25 msec then the Misses count will be incremented. If ccsFlapTotal is high, Hits and Misses are high but ccsFlapPowerAdjustments and ccsFlapInsertionFails are low then the flapping is probably caused by the modem going up and down. Miss counts can indicate: Intermittent upstream, Laser clipping, or Noise bursts. Laser clipping can happen if the signal power is too high when the upstream electrical signal is converted to an optical signal. When it happens the more input produces less output, until finally there is no more increase in output. This phenomena is called laser clipping. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

The number of times the CMTS upstream receiver flagged a packet with a CRC error. If ccsFlapCrcErrors is high, it indicates the cable upstream may have high noise level. The modem may not be flapping yet but it may be a potential problem. This count can indicate: Intermittent upstream, Laser clipping, or Noise bursts. Laser clipping can happen if the signal power is too high when the upstream electrical signal is converted to an optical signal. When it happens the more input produces less output, until finally there is no more increase in output. This phenomena is called laser clipping. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

The number of times the Cable Modem upstream transmit power is adjusted during station maintenance. When the adjustment is greater than the power adjustment threshold the counter will be incremented. The power adjustment threshold is chosen in an implementation-dependent manner. The Flap Count (ccsFlapTotal) will be incremented when this counter is incremented. If ccsFlapTotal is high, ccsFlapPowerAdjustments is high but the Hits and Misses are low and ccsFlapInsertionFails are low then the flapping is probably caused by an improper transmit power level setting at the modem end. This count can indicate: Amplifier degradation, Poor connections, or Wind, moisture, or temperature sensitivity. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

Whenever the Cable Modem passes flap detection, then the flap counter is increased. There are 3 flap detectors defined: (1) When ccsFlapInsertionFails is increased the Flap count will be increased. (2) When the CMTS receives a Miss followed by a Hit then the Flap count will be increased. (3) When ccsFlapPowerAdjustments is increased the Flap count will be increased. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.

OBJECT-TYPE

The flap time is set whenever the Cable Modem triggers a flap detector.

OBJECT-TYPE

The time that this entry was added to the table. If an entry is removed and then later re-added, there may be a discontinuity in the counters associated with this entry. This timestamp can be used to detect those discontinuities.

OBJECT-TYPE

Controls and reflects the status of rows in this table. When a cable modem triggers a flap detector, if an entry does not already exist for this cable modem, and ccsFlapListCurrentSize is less than ccsFlapListMaxSize, then an entry will be created in this table. The new instance of this object will be set to active(1). All flapping modems have the status of active(1). Active entries are removed from the table after they have not triggered any additional flap detectors for the period of time defined in ccsFlapAging. Alternatively, setting this instance to destroy(6) will remove the entry immediately. createAndGo(4) and createAndWait(5) are not supported.

This table contains the spectrum data requests. There are two types of request: background noise and SNR. Refer to ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex and ccsSpectrumRequestMacAddr DESCRIPTIONS on how the type of request is determined.

OBJECT-TYPE

Information about a spectrum data request. The management system uses ccsSpectrumRequestStatus to control entry modification, creation, and deletion. Setting ccsSpectrumRequestEntry to 'destroy' causes entry and its associated data (example: ccsSpectrumDataEntry) to be cleaned up properly. It is suggested the entry to be set to 'destroy' when the row is no longer in use.

OBJECT-TYPE

An arbitrary integer to uniquely identify the entry.

OBJECT-TYPE

Since there is only 1 FFT engine running on the CMTS, 'start' changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'pending' state if the FFT is busy; Otherwise, it changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'running'. 'abort' changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'aborted' state. 'abort' is only allowed when ccsSpectrumRequestOperState is in 'pending' state. Only 'start' when request is to be started and 'abort' when request is to be aborted can be set by the user. It is set to 'none' only on completion of the request by the FFT engine. Note: The SNMP SET is rejected if ccsSpectrumRequestStatus is not 'active'.

Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 should be larger than ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check.

OBJECT-TYPE

The Signal to Noise (SNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 2. Refer to ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria on how ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2 can trigger a change in frequency, modulation or channel width. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. Note: The SNMP SET is rejected if both ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1, ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2 are non-zero and ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2 is higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1.

OBJECT-TYPE

The Forward Error Correction (FEC) correctable count threshold. This object is applicable for profile 1. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. When CMTS detects that FEC correctable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1, it switch to Profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1 should be smaller than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2.

OBJECT-TYPE

The FEC correctable count threshold. This object is applicable for profile 2. When CMTS detects that FEC correctable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2, modulation change can occur, depending on the type of ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority. Note: SNMP SET will be rejected if ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2 is lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1.

OBJECT-TYPE

The FEC uncorrectable count threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 1. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. When CMTS detects that FEC uncorrectable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1, it switches to Profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1 should be smaller than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2.

OBJECT-TYPE

The FEC uncorrectable count threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. Refer to ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria on how ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2 can trigger a change in frequency, modulation or channel width. Note: SNMP SET is rejected if ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2 is lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1.

OBJECT-TYPE

A period between SNR pollings. The SNR is collected from the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) measurement over the in-use band when there is no CM signals. When the CMTS detects that SNR doesn't meet ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 or ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2, a possible hopping occurs, depending on the type of ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority.

OBJECT-TYPE

A condition that triggers hopping. The SNR condition occurs when SNR does not meet the ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 or ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2. The stationMaintainenceMiss condition occurs when the percentage of offline CMs is reached.

OBJECT-TYPE

Upper bound frequency that the upstream supports.

OBJECT-TYPE

The Carrier to Noise (CNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 1. When the CMTS detects that the CNR goes lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1, it switches to profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1 should be larger than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check.

OBJECT-TYPE

The Carrier to Noise (CNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 2. Refer to ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria on how ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 can trigger a change in frequency, modulation or channel width. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. Note: The SNMP SET is rejected if both ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1, ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 are non-zero and ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 is higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1.

OBJECT-TYPE

Current CNR. A value -99 indicates the system detected no modem on line, and a value of -100 indicates the system was unable to retrieve the CNR value.

OBJECT-TYPE

The missed maintenance message threshold in percentage. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no spectrum group assigned. i.e. ccsUpSpecMgmtSpecGroup equals 0.

OBJECT-TYPE

The minimum time between frequency hops in seconds. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no spectrum group assigned. i.e. ccsUpSpecMgmtSpecGroup equals to 0.

OBJECT-TYPE

Defines the criteria that trigger a change in frequency hopping, modulation or channel width. Depending on the type of linecards, the criteria are slightly different: For the linecards that have no Hardware Based Spectrum Management capability like the uBR-MC1xC, change in modulation or frequency occurs in the following criteria: 1) Change from modulation profile 1 to modulation profile 2 would occur when CMTS detects the SNR that goes below the threshold and either corr FEC or uncorr FEC is above the threshold. In this case, snrBelowThres and either corrFecAboveThres or uncorrFecAboveThres bits will get set. 2) Change from modulation profile 2 to modulation profile 1 would occur when CMTS detects the SNR goes above the threshold+3 and both corr FEC and uncorr FEC are below the threshold. In this case, snrAboveThres and corrFecBelowThres and uncorrFecBelowThres bits will get set. 3) Change in frequency or frequency hopping would occur when CMTS detects no active modem on the link. In this case, noActiveModem bit will get set accordingly. For the linecards that have the Hardware Based Spectrum Management capability, change in frequency, modulation or channel width occurs in the following criteria: 1) when CMTS detects the SNR or CNR goes below the threshold and either corr FEC or uncorr FEC is above the threshold. In this case, either snrBelowThres or cnrBelowThres and either corrFecAboveThres or uncorrFecAboveThres bits will get set. 2) when CMTS detects the SNR or CNR goes above the threshold + 3 and both corr FEC and uncorr FEC are below the threshold. In this case, either snrAboveThres or cnrAboveThres and both corrFecBelowThres and uncorrFecBelowThres bits will get set. 3) when CMTS detects no active modem on the link or uncorr FEC is above ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2. In this case noActiveModem or uncorrFecAboveSecondThres bit will get set accordingly. Note: The order of frequency, modulation or channel width changes for the advanced spectrum management linecards will be determined based on the selection of the ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority.

OBJECT-TYPE

The spectrum group assigned to the upstream. The value of 0 for the object indicates that the upstream has no spectrum group assigned.

OBJECT-TYPE

The fiber-node assigned to the upstreams. Upstreams having same fiber-node number indicates that they physically combine together into same RF domain and must have unique frequency assigned. The value of 0 for the object indicates that the upstream is not physically combine with any others.

OBJECT-TYPE

This table contains the frequency and band configuration of the spectrum group.

OBJECT-TYPE

An entry in ccsSpecGroupFreqTable. Each entry represents a center frequency or a frequency band configured for the spectrum group.

OBJECT-TYPE

An arbitrary index to uniquely identify frequencies or bands configured in spectrum group.

OBJECT-TYPE

The type of the frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. If the value of centerFreq(1) is specified, the values of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower and csSpecGroupFreqUpper object must be identical. If the value of bandFreq(2) is specified, the values of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower and csSpecGroupFreqUpper must be unique.

OBJECT-TYPE

The lower frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. To configure a band frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be lower than the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper. To configure a fixed center frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper.

OBJECT-TYPE

The upper frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. To configure a band frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be greater than the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower. To configure a fixed center frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower.

OBJECT-TYPE

The storage type for this conceptual row.

OBJECT-TYPE

The status of this conceptual row. This object is used for creating/deleting entries in ccsSpecGroupFreqTable. A conceptual row may not be created via SNMP without explicitly setting the value of ccsSpecGroupRowStatus to createAndGo(4). A conceptual row can not have the status of active(1) until proper values have been assigned to the mandatory objects ccsSpecGroupFreqType, ccsSpecGroupFreqLower, and ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper. A conceptual row may be modified or deleted any time. If the frequency represents by the row has been assigned to a cable upstream interface, modifying or deleting such row would cause the cable upstream interface frequency reassignment.
