scope:

The present document describes the framework in which IPCablecom1.5 MIB (Management Information Base) modules are described. It provides information on the management requirements of IPCablecom compliant devices and functions and how these requirements are supported in the MIB modules. It is intended to support and complement the actual MIB module documents, which are issued separately. There are currently two sets of the MIB modules that describe the Management Information Base for the IPCablecom Multimedia Terminal Adapters (MTAs) as per table 1:

• IPCablecom MIBs ([8], [9], [10], [11], [12])

• IETF MIBs ([16], [17], [18]).

The IPCablecom 1.5 compliant MTAs are to implement the IPCablecom MIBs. The IPCablecom 1.5 compliant MTAs may implement the IETF MIBs.
