Set the modem community strings with the DOCSIS Configuration File for an IPv4 or IPv6 network by including the 

following SNMP parameters:

Table 3-2, Modem Community String Parameters - Coexistence Method

Modem Community String Parameters Coexistence Method

TLV 

Type

TLV Parameter

Description

Value

53

SNMPv1v2c 

Coexistence 

Configuration

This object specifies the SNMPv1v2c Coexistence Access 

Control configuration of the CM. This TLV creates entries in 

SNMPv3 tables as specified in [DOCSIS OSSIv3.0]

Composite

53.1 SNMPv1v2c 

Community Name

This sub-TLV specifies the Community Name (community 

string) used in SNMP requests to the CM.

Text (e.g. 

AlphaRead)

53.2 SNMPv1v2c Transport 

Address Access

This sub-TLV specifies the Transport Address and Transport 

Address Mask pair used by the CM to grant access to the 

SNMP entity querying the CM.

Variable

53.2.1 SNMPv1v2c Transport 

Address

Specifies the Transport Address to use in conjunction with the 

Transport Address Mask used by the CM to grant access to  

the SNMP entity querying the CM. Length is 6 bytes for IPv4 

and 18 bytes for IPv6. Two additional bytes are added to the 

IP address length for the port number.

Transport Address 

(e.g. 0.0.0.0/0 or 

0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/0)

53.2.2 SNMPv1v2c Transport 

Address Mask

Specifies the Transport Address Mask to use in conjunction 

with the Transport Address used by the CM to grant access to 

the SNMP entity querying the CM. Length is 6 bytes for IPv4 

and 18 bytes for IPv6. Two additional bytes are added to the 

IP address length for the port number.

Transport Address 

(e.g. 0.0.0.0/0 or 

0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/0)

53.3 SNMPv1v2c Access 

View Type

Specifies the type of access to grant to the community name 

of this TLV. If not specified, default read-only is used.

1 = Read Only

2 = Read / Write

53.4 SNMPv1v2c Access 

View Name

Specifies the name of the view that provides the access 

indicated in sub-TLV SNMPv1v2c Access View Type.

String (e.g. 

docsisManagerView)
