Description: Manages IPX routing, SAP table entries, and interface-level traffic counters on H3C network 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-IPX-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-IPX-MIB is an H3C enterprise MIB for managing the legacy IPX protocol stack, covering interface configuration, RIP-based IPX routing, SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) service tables, and per-interface IPX traffic statistics. It exposes configuration objects like network/node IDs, split-horizon settings, and encapsulation type per interface, alongside RIP and SAP status/statistics groups. Its monitoring role is primarily protocol-status and traffic-statistics oriented: administrators watch IPX interface status, RIP route counts, and SAP service-table entries to confirm the legacy IPX routing domain is healthy, rather than exposing hardware sensors. It is a self-contained legacy-protocol MIB with no notable dependency on other standard MIBs beyond general SNMP conventions. It would be deployed on older H3C/3Com routers and switches still supporting Novell IPX networks, a increasingly rare legacy use case. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-IPX-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • legacy H3C/3Com routers and switches supporting Novell IPX

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check h3cIpxStatus for the global IPX protocol enable state, then inspect the h3cIpxIfConfigTable (entries keyed by h3cIpxIfIndex) for per-interface settings like h3cIpxIfNetId, h3cIpxIfNodeId, and h3cIpxIfSplitHorizon. Monitoring the RIP group (h3cIpxRip) alongside the SAP group (h3cIpxSap) would reveal whether IPX routes and advertised services are being learned correctly across the network. A mismatched h3cIpxIfEncapsuleType between two connected devices would typically manifest as a loss of IPX connectivity on that link.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPX protocol status
  • IPX interface network/node ID
  • split-horizon configuration
  • IPX RIP route information
  • IPX SAP service table entries
  • interface encapsulation type

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cIpxStatTotalReceives OID:

Select a legacy H3C/3Com router or switch (IPX) 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 h3cIpxStatTotalReceives into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of packets received. 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.
