Access@ Terminals@ Transmission and Multiplexing (ATTM); Integrated Broadband Cable and Television Networks; IPCablecom 1.5; Part 12: Management Event Mechanism (V1.1.1)
Purpose The present document defines the Management Event Mechanism that IPCablecom elements can use to report asynchronous events that indicate malfunction situations and notification about important non-fault situation. Events are defined in the present document as conditions requiring the reporting of information to management systems and/or local log. A goal of IPCablecom is to maintain consistency with the DOCSIS? event reporting mechanism [i.2]. Introduction The present document is one of two documents that together define a framework for reporting Management Events in the IPCablecom architecture. The present document defines the general event reporting mechanism and framework. The mechanism consists of a set of protocols and interfaces that can be used by individual elements and components in the IPCablecom architecture. The present document defines how the SNMPv3 transport protocol@ SYSLOG@ local log@ and the IPCablecom Management Event MIB are used to carry management event information to an event management system. This management event mechanism is further defined and supported by the Management Event Mechanism MIB as specified in [1] and [i.7] if the latter is implemented by the MTA. Consequently@ each reference to the Management Event MIB in the present document will correspond to the MIB as defined either in [1]@ or alternatively@ in [1] and [i.7].
