Category: SNA and Legacy Protocols, Vendor: H3C/HH3C

Description: Manages Data Link Switching (DLSw) for SNA and NetBIOS traffic on H3C/3Com routers, providing peer connections, circuit state, and transport statistics.

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-SNA-DLSW-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-SNA-DLSW-MIB is an H3C/Huawei-3Com private MIB implementing Data Link Switching (DLSw), a protocol that tunnels SNA and NetBIOS traffic over an IP network between legacy mainframe/terminal environments. Its data covers per-DLSw-node identity and operational detail: software version, vendor ID, node status, uptime since last state change, and pacing/window parameters governing flow control. As a software-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm a DLSw node is active and has been stable, since dlswNodeUpTime resetting unexpectedly signals a restart. It is deployed on H3C routers bridging legacy SNA traffic over modern IP backbones. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-SNA-DLSW-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-SNA-DLSW-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) routers bridging legacy SNA/NetBIOS traffic over IP

Monitoring Examples

An administrator polls dlswNodeStatus and dlswNodeUpTime to confirm the local DLSw node is operational and has not recently restarted, which would otherwise disrupt active SNA sessions.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DLSw node status and uptime
  • pacing/window flow-control parameters

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dlswRemotePeerRecvPacks OID:

Select an H3C/3Com DLSw 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 dlswRemotePeerRecvPacks 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 Switch-to-Switch Protocol (SSP) messages received on this tcp transport connection. 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 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.
