ETSI ES 203 259 defines the requirements necessary for the Configuration, Fault Management, and Performance Management of the Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) system. The intent of the present document is to define a common, cross-vendor set of functionality for the configuration and management of CCAPs.

The present document defines a standard configuration object model for the configuration of the CCAP. The present document also defines the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management requirements for a CCAP. These SNMP requirements include both protocol conformance and management object definitions, based largely upon existing industry standard management objects found in DOCSIS CMTSs (Cable Modem Termination Systems) and Universal EQAMs (Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation). In addition, the present document defines the standard Event Messaging requirements of a CCAP system.

The present document corresponds to the CableLabs CCAP-OSSI specification [i.21].
