Description: Manages web-based portal authentication on H3C/3Com devices, providing configuration and status for captive portal server connections and authenticated user sessions.

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-PORTAL-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-PORTAL-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Hangzhou H3C Technologies (the former 3Com/Huawei joint venture) that models web-based captive portal authentication on H3C/3Com/Huawei network devices. It defines h3cPortalServerTable (portal server configuration including server URL/port), h3cPortalIfInfoTable and h3cPortalIfServerTable (per-interface portal binding and authentication counters h3cPortalAuthReqNumber, h3cPortalAuthSuccNumber, h3cPortalAuthFailNumber), h3cPortalFreeRuleTable/h3cPortalForbiddenRuleTable (free/forbidden access rules bypassing or blocking portal redirection), and h3cPortalStatistic (detailed counters such as h3cPortalStatAuthReq, h3cPortalStatAuthFail, h3cPortalStatPwdError, h3cPortalStatChallengeTimeout). This granular authentication-outcome data is useful for monitoring the health of captive-portal-based network access control — distinguishing password errors from server timeouts or busy conditions when users fail to authenticate. It depends on standard SNMPv2-SMI/TC/CONF conventions and is deployed on H3C/3Com/Huawei switches and wireless controllers using portal-based user authentication; administrators can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-PORTAL-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-PORTAL-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 / Huawei switches and wireless controllers (portal authentication)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls h3cPortalIfInfoTable for a given interface to compare h3cPortalAuthReqNumber against h3cPortalAuthSuccNumber and h3cPortalAuthFailNumber; a growing gap where failures dominate, combined with rising h3cPortalStatChallengeTimeout counts in h3cPortalStatistic, would point to the portal server being slow or unreachable rather than users simply entering bad credentials.

What Can Be Monitored

  • portal server configuration table
  • per-interface authentication request/success/failure counters
  • free-rule and forbidden-rule access lists
  • detailed authentication outcome statistics (password error, timeout, busy)
  • portal packet statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cPortalStatAuthReq OID:

Select an H3C/3Com/Huawei switch or wireless controller 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 h3cPortalStatAuthReq into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It shows the total number of portal authentication requests from the portal server. 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.
