Description: Tracks IPsec security associations along with tunnel statistics and encryption/authentication parameters on H3C equipment.

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-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB is an H3C/3Com private MIB dedicated to monitoring IPsec VPN tunnels, providing statistics for either a specific tunnel or all tunnels configured on a device. No sample runtime objects were available for this module, but its module description confirms it is a statistics/monitoring-focused MIB rather than a configuration MIB, so it primarily exposes per-tunnel packet, byte, and status counters plus security-association parameters. Its central monitoring use is software/service status: verifying that IPsec tunnels remain established and are actively passing encrypted traffic, and identifying tunnels that have failed negotiation or gone idle. It logically depends on the device's underlying IPsec/IKE configuration objects (typically in a companion IPsec configuration MIB) since this module only covers the monitoring/statistics side. It is deployed on H3C/3Com routers and security gateways terminating site-to-site or remote-access IPsec VPNs. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-IPSEC-MONITOR-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 routers and VPN security gateways

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module; in general, this type of MIB would be polled to retrieve per-tunnel encrypted/decrypted packet and byte counters and current SA/tunnel status, which would reveal a tunnel that has dropped from an established to a down state or one passing zero traffic despite being marked up.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPsec tunnel operational status
  • per-tunnel encrypted/decrypted packet counters
  • per-tunnel byte counters
  • security association state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cIPSecGlobalInOctets OID:

Select an H3C/3Com VPN gateway 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 h3cIPSecGlobalInOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by all current and previous IPSec Phase-2 Tunnels. 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.
