Description: Provides system-level device inventory, slot, and entity management objects for H3C network platforms.

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-DEVICE-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-DEVICE-MIB is an enterprise MIB module co-branded for the 3Com-Huawei (H3C) joint venture, providing system-level device inventory, slot, and entity management objects for the H3C family of enterprise network switches and routers. It covers categories of data such as chassis and slot identification, physical entity naming, and general hardware inventory attributes used to describe the composition of an H3C device. Its monitoring role centers on hardware and system status: it is used to track slot occupancy, entity presence and type, and overall device inventory so that operators can detect a missing, mismatched, or newly inserted line card, power supply, or module. It depends on conventions consistent with the standard IETF ENTITY-MIB for physical entity numbering and fits into the broader H3C/Huawei enterprise MIB suite for fuller device management. Network administrators loading this module in an A3COM-HUAWEI-DEVICE-MIB MIB Browser view typically do so to inspect slot and entity inventory on H3C switches and routers deployed in enterprise and campus network environments.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-DEVICE-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 S9800 Series — modular data center core switch, part of H3C's 800G-capable lineup
  • H3C S6520 Series — enterprise access/aggregation switch

Monitoring Examples

No concrete sample objects were provided for this module, so specific table or object names cannot be cited directly. Based on its stated purpose of system-level device inventory, slot, and entity management, a real deployment would poll objects analogous to the standard ENTITY-MIB's entPhysicalTable to enumerate installed slots, modules, and their type/serial information on an H3C chassis. An administrator would compare the returned entity/slot inventory against an expected baseline to detect a missing or newly inserted line card, power supply, or fan module. Without named objects, this description is grounded in the module's stated inventory-management intent rather than confirmed object identifiers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • device/entity inventory
  • slot occupancy status
  • hardware component presence and type
  • system identification

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwLswSysCpuRatio OID:

Select an H3C S9800 Series 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 hwLswSysCpuRatio into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This OID reports the switch's overall CPU utilization as a percentage (0-100). 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if CPU utilization exceeds 85%, a common warning threshold before sustained high load affects switching performance. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
