Description: Manages Network Quality Analysis (NQA) test operations on H3C/3Com devices, supporting ICMP, UDP, TCP, and application-layer performance probe configuration and results.

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-NQA-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-NQA-MIB is a vendor-specific 3Com/Huawei (H3C) MIB that extends the IETF DISMAN-PING-MIB (RFC 2925) with Network Quality Analysis (NQA) test capabilities for active performance measurement between H3C/3Com devices. Its hwNqaCtlTable augments the standard pingCtlEntry with protocol-specific test parameters — target/source ports, TTL, jitter test interval and packet count, HTTP/FTP operation type and credentials for application-layer probes, VPN instance binding, and voice-quality parameters (ICPIF factor, codec type) — while implementation-type identities (udpEcho, tcpConnect, jitter, http, dlsw, dhcp, ftp) select which probe mechanism a test uses. Results, including round-trip time, jitter, and packet loss, are reported through the companion hwNqaResultsTable and historical/statistical tables added in later revisions. Monitoring this MIB lets operators run and retrieve active network-quality probes directly via SNMP to measure latency, jitter, and loss between network elements, central to SLA verification and VoIP quality troubleshooting. It depends on IETF DISMAN-PING-MIB for its base control-table structure, and the A3COM-HUAWEI-NQA-MIB MIB is what operators load to configure and poll these NQA tests from their management station.

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

  • 3Com/Huawei (H3C) routers and switches

Monitoring Examples

An operator creates an hwNqaCtlTable entry with codec type and jitter interval set for a test between two voice gateways, then polls the corresponding hwNqaResultsTable for round-trip time and packet-loss ratio; consistently high jitter or loss values would indicate a degraded path likely to cause poor call quality.

What Can Be Monitored

  • NQA test control parameters (target/source port, TTL, VPN instance)
  • jitter test interval and packet count configuration
  • round-trip time / delay statistics results
  • packet loss ratio
  • HTTP/FTP application-layer probe configuration
  • historical NQA statistics and reaction/threshold tables

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwNqaJitterStatsNumOfRTT OID:

Select an H3C/3Com router or 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 hwNqaJitterStatsNumOfRTT 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 received destination device responses with which jitter test can reach round-trip time. 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 jitter climbs well above its normal baseline, since rising jitter often signals network congestion or a degrading path. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
