Hello. I need to find out how to enable bridge forwarding between the
HFC port and the Ethernet port in a DOCSIS cable modem using SNMP. By
looking at the logs in the cable modem, the process is done often, yet
automatically. I need to know what SNMP MIB can be used to enable
bridge forwarding manually. Thank you.

Well basicly you cable modem is a router and you have to be connected
to it, PHYSICALY throught some medium. And then you need to get some
form of and application to access that router or in this case your
router. Could be telnet, web browser, or a gui based application.

Yes, I know. I am connected to the cable modem via Ethernet. And the
cable modem can be controlled using SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). However certain aspects of the modem are defined by certain
SNMP MIBs. For example, using SNMP and setting the MIB
1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.3 to 1 will cause the cable modem to restart. So I
need to know what MIB will cause the modem to enable bridge
forwarding. Thanks.

Actually a cable modem is NOT a router by default. A router is a
device that forwards packets based in their Layer 3 (IP) address. A
cable modem is a bridge by default. It should be a bridge "out of the
box". You shouldn't need to set any SNMP mibs to make it a bridge.
Perhaps you could explain a litte more about the context of what
you're trying to acheive...for example, what kind of cable modem is
it? Motorola? 3com? cisco? Is it actually connected to a service
provider's network? Has it come online?

Let us know...
