Description: Monitors the H3C Intrusion Detection System engine status, signature rules, and detected-attack counters.
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-IDS-MIB?
A3COM-HUAWEI-IDS-MIB is an H3C/3Com vendor MIB for managing and monitoring the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) engine embedded in or attached to H3C network devices, per its stated purpose of detecting intruder activity. It exposes IDS-specific data such as engine/process operating status, configured signature/attack-rule sets, and counters for detected attacks or intrusion events. As a security-monitoring MIB its primary hardware/software-status role is tracking whether the IDS detection process/engine is running and healthy, and surfacing how many attacks of each type have been detected, functioning like a process/service-status and event-counter MIB for the security subsystem. It is a self-contained vendor extension with no indicated dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMP SMI conventions. It is deployed on H3C/3Com routers, switches, or dedicated security appliances that include an integrated intrusion-detection feature, exposed to management systems through the A3COM-HUAWEI-IDS-MIB MIB.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-IDS-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 router/switch/security appliance with integrated IDS
Monitoring Examples
No concrete object or table names were provided for this module, so specific OIDs cannot be cited; based on its stated purpose, a monitoring scenario would involve polling the IDS engine's running/enabled status and its detected-attack counters to notice a spike in flagged intrusion attempts or an engine that has stopped processing traffic. Confirming exact object names would require the underlying MIB source.
What Can Be Monitored
- IDS engine operational status
- configured signature/attack rules
- detected attack event counts
