Description: Manages Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) on H3C/3Com wireless infrastructure, providing rogue AP detection, countermeasure policy, and attack notification objects.

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-WIPS-MIB?

A3COM-HUAWEI-WIPS-MIB is a joint 3Com/H3C (Huawei) vendor MIB for the Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) feature on their wireless infrastructure, designed to detect and counter rogue access points and wireless attacks. It exposes global WIPS enable/policy configuration (sensor licensing, blocklist action, various aging/inactive timers, statistic/reclassification periods) alongside reset controls for trust, block, ignore, and countermeasure (ctm) device lists. Its monitoring/status value is focused on wireless security software health: whether WIPS is enabled and licensed with sufficient sensor capacity, how devices are being classified (trusted, blocked, ignored) over time, and whether reclassification/aging timers are tuned appropriately to avoid stale threat data, functioning as a security-monitoring layer rather than physical hardware status. It builds on the vendor's underlying wireless AP/controller infrastructure and sensor framework, without a strong dependency on separate standard MIBs evident from the description. It is typically deployed on H3C/3Com wireless LAN controllers and access points in enterprise environments requiring rogue-AP detection and wireless attack mitigation. Engineers can download the A3COM-HUAWEI-WIPS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in A3COM-HUAWEI-WIPS-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 wireless LAN controller/access point
  • 3Com wireless infrastructure

Monitoring Examples

A security administrator would check h3cWIPSEnable and h3cWIPSSensorLicenseNum to confirm WIPS is active and licensed for the deployed sensor count, and h3cWIPSBlocklistAction to know what countermeasure is applied to blocked devices. h3cWIPSAPInactiveTime and h3cWIPSSTAInactiveTime govern how long an AP or station can be silent before being aged out of tracking, while h3cWIPSStatisticPeriod and h3cWIPSReclassificationPeriod control how often threat statistics and device classifications are refreshed. The reset objects h3cWIPSResetAllTrustList/h3cWIPSResetAllBlockList/h3cWIPSResetAllIgnoreList/h3cWIPSResetAllCtmList would be invoked to clear accumulated classification state, for example after a wireless security policy change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • WIPS enable state
  • sensor license count
  • blocklist action policy
  • AP/station inactivity timers
  • reclassification period
  • trust/block/ignore/countermeasure list state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cWIPSChlStatTotalPkt OID:

Select an H3C wireless controller or access point 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 h3cWIPSChlStatTotalPkt 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. Represents the count of total frames in the channel. 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.
