Description: Manages ACL (Access Control List) configuration on HP BladeSystem Type 2 blade network switches.

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 BLADETYPE2-ACL-MIB?

BLADETYPE2-ACL-MIB is HP's proprietary MIB for configuring and reporting Access Control Lists on HP BladeSystem Type 2 embedded network switch modules. It exposes ACL rule configuration data — current filter blocks and groups, filter actions (including CoS remarking), Ethernet/tag format matching, and source/destination MAC address filters with masks. It is used to monitor the software/configuration status of security filtering on the blade switch, letting an administrator verify that the intended ACL rules are actually applied rather than checking physical hardware health. It builds on general Ethernet switching and 802.1Q VLAN tagging conventions (tag/Ethernet format fields) shared with standards like Q-BRIDGE-MIB. It is deployed on the embedded switch modules inside HP BladeSystem enclosures, where L2/L3 traffic filtering is enforced close to the blade servers, and BLADETYPE2-ACL-MIB SNMP monitoring lets administrators confirm those ACL rules stay correctly applied.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BLADETYPE2-ACL-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

  • HP BladeSystem Type 2 embedded network switch module

Monitoring Examples

An administrator can poll the aclCurCfgTable (via aclCurCfgEntry/aclCurCfgIndex) to enumerate configured ACL rules grouped by aclCurCfgBlock and aclCurCfgGroup, checking aclCurCfgFilterAction and aclCurCfgFilterActionSetCOS to confirm traffic from a specific host — identified by aclCurCfgSrcMACAddress/aclCurCfgDstMACAddress — is being filtered or remarked as intended. An unexpected or missing entry here would reveal that a security or QoS policy failed to apply correctly to that blade switch port.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ACL rule configuration per block/group
  • filter action (permit/deny/remark) per rule
  • source/destination MAC address match criteria
  • Ethernet/VLAN tag format matching
