Description: H3C MIB for Fibre Channel Port Security Manager controlling authorized device access to FC switch ports.

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 H3C-FC-PSM-MIB?

H3C-FC-PSM-MIB is an H3C-specific MIB for the Fibre Channel Port Security Manager (PSM) feature, which controls which devices are authorized to log into specific ports on an H3C Fibre Channel/FCoE switch. It exposes per-VSAN enable state for port security, a per-port security configuration table recording the type and identity of the device permitted to log in and its login point, and notification objects for security events. As a security/access-control monitoring MIB it is used to verify that unauthorized devices cannot log into protected FC ports and to alert (via h3cFcPsmNotifications) when a login violation is attempted, a fault/security-event monitoring use case rather than general hardware health. It builds on standard Fibre Channel VSAN/port concepts and would logically be used alongside FC-oriented MIBs, though no explicit MIB import dependency is named. It is typically deployed on H3C Fibre Channel or FCoE storage-network switches where administrators need to lock down which initiators/targets can attach to specific switch ports. Engineers can download the H3C-FC-PSM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-FC-PSM-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 Fibre Channel/FCoE storage-network switches

Monitoring Examples

An admin checks h3cFcPsmEnableTable / h3cFcPsmEnableEntry (keyed by h3cFcPsmEnableVsanIndex) to confirm h3cFcPsmEnable/h3cFcPsmEnableState is active for a given VSAN, then reviews h3cFcPsmConfigTable / h3cFcPsmConfigEntry entries showing h3cFcPsmLoginDevType, h3cFcPsmLoginDev, and h3cFcPsmLoginPoint to confirm only authorized devices are bound to each port. A h3cFcPsmNotifyEnable-triggered trap firing when an unrecognized device attempts login is the key fault-detection signal this MIB provides.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port security enable state per VSAN
  • authorized login device type/identity
  • port login-point bindings
  • unauthorized login attempt notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cFcPsmAllowedLogins OID:

Select an H3C Fibre Channel/FCoE switch (Port Security Manager) 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 h3cFcPsmAllowedLogins 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 requests that have been allowed on the specified VSAN. 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.
