Description: Monitors IP accounting traffic flow records, byte/packet counters per source-destination pair 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-IPA-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-IPA-MIB is an H3C enterprise MIB implementing IP accounting, a feature that tracks traffic volumes for defined groups of source/destination IP addresses as packets cross a router interface. Although no sample objects were supplied, the module description indicates it centers on an accountable-address list table and a per-interface configuration table controlling whether inbound, outbound, or both directions are counted. Its monitoring purpose is traffic/billing-style accounting rather than hardware health: it lets administrators see byte and packet counts attributable to specific IP address pairs for capacity planning or usage-based charging. It appears to be a self-contained enterprise accounting MIB without heavy reliance on other standard MIBs beyond general IP addressing conventions. It is deployed on H3C routers where administrators need fine-grained, address-pair-level traffic accounting rather than just aggregate interface counters. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-IPA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-IPA-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 routers

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided, but based on the module description, an admin would define entries in an IP accounting list table (h3cIpaAccountListTable) to specify which source/destination address pairs to track, then enable accounting per port via an interface configuration table (h3cIpaIfConfigTable). Once enabled, the device would accumulate byte/packet counts for matching traffic crossing that interface, which the admin polls to see usage per address pair. Without further object names in the sample, a more specific polling scenario cannot be responsibly described.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cIpaIntListInPackets OID:

Select an H3C router 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 h3cIpaIntListInPackets 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 number of inbound packets in h3cIpaIntListTable. 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 Counter32-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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cIpa	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.25			This MIB is used to acquire ip accounting information. The h3cIpaAccountListTable is set by user to define the group of ip address which they want to account. This module can be enabled in each port, which was defined in the h3cIpaIfConfigTable. If this module has been enabled, the packets will be accounted when crossing the router from the ports having been enabled by user, according to whether the source/destination ip address is in h3cIpaAccountListTable and what kinds of function(in/out/both/fw) are enabled and also whether it is denied by the firewall. If it is denied by the firewall, it will be accounted in h3cIpaFWListTable If it is accepted by the firewall, and ip source or ip destination is in h3cIpaAccountListTable, it will be accounted in h3cIpaIntListTable, otherwise it will be accounted in h3cIpaExtListTable. And IP Accounting function also differentiates the packets by direction. If the packet is inbound, the accounting information can be seen as h3cIpaIntListInPackets/h3cIpaIntListInBytes in h3cIpaIntListTable, h3cIpaExtListInPackets/h3cIpaExtListInBytes in h3cIpaExtListTable, h3cIpaFWListInPackets/h3cIpaFWListInBytes in h3cIpaFWListTable. or else the accounting information can be seen as h3cIpaIntListOutPackets/h3cIpaIntListOutBytes in h3cIpaIntListTable, h3cIpaExtListOutPackets/h3cIpaExtListOutBytes in h3cIpaExtListTable, h3cIpaFWListOutPackets/h3cIpaFWListOutBytes in h3cIpaFWListTable.
