•Radio Frequency Interface (RFI) MIB—Specific to Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) cable implementations. The RIF MIB provides an interface that permits management of the Cisco uBR924 cable access router over the cable or Ethernet interface. Using SNMP management applications, this MIB allows access to statistics such as MAC, driver configuration, and counters.
•Cable Device MIB—Records statistics related to the configuration and status of the
Cisco uBR924 cable access router. Statistics include an events log and device status. The Cable Device MIB is very similar to the RFI MIB in that both allow access to statistics; they are different in that the Cable Device MIB reports statistics on the cable access router, while the RFI MIB reports statistics on the radio frequency transmissions over the cable television line.
For descriptions of supported MIBs and how to use MIBs, see Cisco’s MIB web site on CCO at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.
List of Terms
broadband—Transmission system that combines multiple independent signals onto one cable. In the cable industry, broadband refers to the frequency-division multiplexing of many signals in a wide bandwidth of RF frequencies using a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network.
CATV—Originally stood for Community Antenna Television. Now refers to any coaxial or fiber cable-based system that provides television services.
cable modem (CM)—A modulator-demodulator device that is placed at subscriber locations to convey data communications on a cable television system. The Cisco uBR924 cable access router is also a cable modem.
