Description: Monitors Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) sessions, state machines, and interval parameters on H3C devices.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is A3COM-HUAWEI-BFD-STD-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-BFD-STD-MIB is an H3C (3Com/Huawei joint-venture heritage) proprietary MIB implementing BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection), a fast link/neighbor failure-detection protocol. Its objects cover a version number, a system-init mode, a per-interface table (desired min TX/RX interval, detect multiplier, authentication type), and a session table (interface index, session index, application ID, local/remote discriminator, destination port, operating mode, address type, local/remote address, local diagnostic code, session state, control-plane-independent flag, and authentication flag). As a status/configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm BFD session state and timer settings to catch link failures within milliseconds on an H3C device. It is deployed on H3C (3Com/Huawei) networking equipment. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-BFD-STD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-BFD-STD-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • H3C (3Com/Huawei) networking equipment

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks h3cBfdSessState and h3cBfdSessLocalDiag to diagnose why a BFD session dropped between two H3C routers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • BFD session state and detection-timer configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cBfdSessStatPktInHC OID:

Select an H3C router or switch as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type h3cBfdSessStatPktInHC into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of BFD messages received by this BFD session. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
