Description: Monitors device entity inventory, CPU/memory utilization, and board status on H3C LAN switch platforms.

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-LswDEVM-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-LswDEVM-MIB is an H3C/3Com "Device Management" MIB for LAN switch (Lsw) platforms, providing inventory and resource-utilization data for the switch's physical components. It exposes CPU utilization tables, memory usage tables, and general device/board status objects covering the switch chassis, memory modules, and flash storage. This is squarely a hardware-health monitoring MIB: it lets an operator track per-CPU load over 1-minute and 5-minute windows, total versus free memory per module, and general device/flash status, the classic building blocks for detecting an overloaded switch CPU or a memory-exhaustion condition before it causes an outage. It's a vendor extension typically used alongside standard entity/device MIBs (such as ENTITY-MIB) for a fuller hardware inventory picture, though it can also stand alone for the CPU/memory counters. It's deployed on H3C (formerly 3Com/Huawei-3Com) LAN switch platforms in enterprise campus and data-center networks. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-LswDEVM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-LswDEVM-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) LAN switch

Monitoring Examples

Polling hwCpuTable/hwCpuEntry by hwCpuIndex returns hwCpuCostRatePer1Min and hwCpuCostRatePer5Min, letting an admin catch a switch CPU pegged at high utilization (e.g., due to a control-plane storm) before it drops packets or loses management access. hwMemTable/hwMemEntry keyed by hwMemModuleIndex exposes hwMemSize versus hwMemFree, revealing a memory leak or exhaustion trend when free memory steadily declines toward the hwMemRawSliceUsed capacity. Together these two tables give per-board CPU and memory health for multi-slot switch chassis.

What Can Be Monitored

per-CPU utilization (1-min, 5-min average)
per-module memory total and free
memory slice usage
device/board inventory status
flash storage status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwCpuCostRate OID:

Select an H3C/3Com LAN switch 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 hwCpuCostRate 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 overall CPU busy percentage in the last 5 second period. 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 Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if utilization exceeds 85%, a common warning threshold before sustained high load affects performance. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
