Category: Quality of Service, Vendor: H3C/HH3C

Description: Manages Quality of Service (QoS) configuration on H3C/3Com devices, including traffic classification, marking, policing, shaping, and queue scheduling policies.

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-QOS-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-QOS-MIB is a joint H3C/3Com vendor MIB (from the former Huawei-3Com joint venture) for managing Quality-of-Service policies on their switches and routers. It exposes configuration data for traffic classification rules, packet marking/remarking, policing (rate limiting), traffic shaping, and per-queue scheduling policies. Although primarily configuration-oriented, it also supports monitoring of applied QoS policy and queue status, letting administrators confirm that configured service levels for hardware queues and interfaces are actually being enforced. It likely depends on standard IF-MIB interface indexing and complements other vendor-specific interface/queue MIBs to map QoS policies to physical ports. It is deployed in enterprise and campus networks using H3C/3Com equipment where differentiated traffic handling, such as prioritizing voice over data, needs to be verified. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-QOS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-QOS-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 switches and routers

Monitoring Examples

No object names were available for this module, but a realistic scenario would involve polling the device's traffic-class and policy tables to confirm a priority queue's drop counters remain low; a sudden spike in drops on a voice or priority traffic class would indicate congestion undermining the configured QoS guarantee, prompting a review of policing/shaping thresholds.

What Can Be Monitored

  • QoS policy and class configuration
  • traffic classification rules
  • packet marking/remarking status
  • policing/rate-limit enforcement
  • per-queue scheduling and packet drops

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using qosFIFODiscardPkt OID:

Select an H3C/3Com switch or router 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 qosFIFODiscardPkt 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 discarded packet number of queue. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
