Description: Handles Layer 4 traffic redirection policies used for server load balancing and service chaining 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-L4RDT-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-L4RDT-MIB is a Huawei 3Com Tech proprietary MIB implementing Layer 4 Redirection (L4RDT), which transparently redirects matched TCP traffic (e.g., to a cache/proxy). Its cache table, keyed by IP address, records redirection status, port, row status, MAC address, VLAN, and TCP port; an IP-exclusion table records excluded IP address/mask-length pairs; a VLAN table records which VLANs participate; and free-entry counters report remaining cache/exclusion/VLAN table capacity. As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which flows are being transparently redirected and which addresses are excluded on an H3C (Huawei-3Com) switch. It is deployed on H3C (Huawei-3Com) switching equipment (Layer 4 redirection). Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-L4RDT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-L4RDT-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 (Huawei-3Com) switching equipment (Layer 4 redirection)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks h3cL4RedirectCacheRedirectionStatus and h3cL4RedirectIpExclusionTable to confirm which flows are transparently redirected on an H3C switch.

What Can Be Monitored

Layer 4 redirection cache and exclusion configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cL4RedirectFreeCacheEntries OID:

Select an H3C switching equipment 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 h3cL4RedirectFreeCacheEntries into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object indicates the number of entries that may still be added to the h3cL4RedirectCacheTable. 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 INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count changes from its expected baseline, since that would indicate the underlying set of items changed unexpectedly. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cL4Redirect	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10			See description above
h3cL4RedirectCacheTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1		not-accessible	This table contains an entry for each Web Cache device that this unit is aware of.
h3cL4RedirectCacheEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1		not-accessible	Each row specifies a known Web Cache device.
IP h3cL4RedirectCacheIpAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1.1	IpAddress	not-accessible	This object specifies the IP address of the Web Cache device.
INT h3cL4RedirectCacheRedirectionStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This object returns the current state of traffic redirection to the cache. If redirection is disabled, this object shall return disabledNotRedirecting(1). If a unit cannot be selected to perform the cache health check, this object shall return enabledNoHealthChecker(2). If the software is determining if the cache is able to do redirection(this will happen when the redirection state transitions from disabled to enabled), this object shall return enabledHealthChecking(3). If the cache health check succeeded but the hardware is unable to support redirection to the cache port, this object shall return enabledHealthCheckOKNotRedirecting(4). If the latest health check of the cache has failed, this object shall return enabledHealthCheckFailed(5). If the cache is in use and traffic is being redirected to it, this object shall return enabledRedirecting(6). The default value is disabledNotRedirecting(1).
INT h3cL4RedirectCachePort	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-create	This object stores the ifIndex that identifies the port or link aggregation which provides the connection that leads to the cache. If only manual cache configuration is supported, this value must be supplied. The method of cache configuration can be ascertained by the presence or absence of the L4 manual cache configuration id within the 3com-352 MIB. The default value is 0.
ROW h3cL4RedirectCacheRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1.4	RowStatus	read-create	This object is used to create and remove Web Cache entries. The following are the valid values that may be written to RowStatus: Writing createAndGo(4) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row shall create a row with default values and shall set the row to active(1). If the row already exists, it shall be an error. Writing createAndWait(5) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row shall create a row with default values and shall set the row to notInService(2). If the row already exists, it shall be an error. Writing active(1) to the RowStatus of an existing row shall change the value of that row to active(1). Writing active(1) to the RowStatus of an existing row that is already active(1) shall not cause an error, the row shall remain active(1). If the row does not exist, it shall be an error. Writing notInService(2) to the RowStatus of an existing row shall change the value of that row to notInService(2). Writing notInService(2) to the RowStatus of an existing row that is already notInService(2) shall not cause an error, the row shall remain notInService(2). If the row does not exist, it shall be an error. Writing destroy(6) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row shall be an error. If the row exists, it shall be removed. Writing notReady(3) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row or to an existent row shall be an error. If the user does not supply values for the necessary objects, default values will be supplied. Attempts to create more entries than the hardware can support shall be rejected.
MAC h3cL4RedirectCacheMacAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.1.1.5	MacAddress	read-create	This object defines the MAC address of the attached Web cache device. If only manual configuration of the cache is supported, this value must be supplied. The method of cache configuration can be ascertained by the presence or absence of the L4 manual cache configuration id within the 3com-352 MIB. The default value is 0.

INT h3cL4RedirectIpExclusionMaskLen	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-create	This object provides the number of bits in the subnetwork mask. This mask shall be applied to the excludeIP address to determine the subnetwork that is to be excluded. A value of 32 implies that the excludeIP address refers to an individual host. The default value is 32.
ROW h3cL4RedirectIpExclusionRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.43.45.1.10.2.10.2.1.3	RowStatus	read-create	This object is used to add rows to the Exclusion Table. The following are the valid values that may be written to RowStatus: Writing createAndGo(4) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row shall create a new row. The new row shall be active(1). If the row exists, it shall be an error. Writing createAndWait(5) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row or to an existent row shall be an error. Writing active(1) to the RowStatus of an existing row shall change the value of that row to active(1). Writing active(1) to the RowStatus of an existing row that is already active(1) shall not cause an error, the row shall remain active(1). If the row does not exist, it shall be an error. Writing notInService(2) to the RowStatus of an existing row shall change the value of that row to notInService(2). Writing notInService(2) to the RowStatus of an existing row that is already notInService(2) shall not cause an error, the row shall remain notInService(2). If the row does not exist, it shall be an error. Writing destroy(6) to the RowStatus of a non-existent row shall be an error. If the row exists, it shall be removed.
