Description: H3C MIB for monitoring IKE (Internet Key Exchange) phase 1 and phase 2 security association states.

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-IKE-MONITOR-MIB?

H3C-IKE-MONITOR-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB for monitoring Internet Key Exchange (IKE) security association (SA) state, covering both IKE phase 1 (main/aggressive mode) and phase 2 (quick mode) negotiations used to establish IPsec VPN tunnels. No sample objects were supplied, but the module description confirms it reports statistics for individual or all IKE tunnels/SAs on the device. It functions as a software/security-state monitoring MIB, letting an administrator confirm whether IKE phase 1 and phase 2 SAs are successfully established and remain up, a key indicator of IPsec VPN tunnel health. It is an H3C-proprietary module built around the IETF IKE/IPsec protocol standards (RFC 2409 and successors) though it defines its own object structure rather than reusing an IETF MIB. It is deployed on H3C routers and security gateways terminating IPsec VPN tunnels, and administrators can download the H3C-IKE-MONITOR-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser for this monitoring.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-IKE-MONITOR-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 router/security gateway (IPsec VPN)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were supplied for this MIB, so specific table or object names cannot be cited. Consistent with its stated purpose, an administrator would poll per-tunnel IKE phase 1/phase 2 SA state and statistics to confirm a VPN tunnel's key exchange remains established, flagging a tunnel whose SA has failed to renegotiate, but the exact objects cannot be confirmed from the available source.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cIKEGlobalInOctets OID:

Select an H3C router/security gateway (IKE/IPsec SA monitoring) 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 h3cIKEGlobalInOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by all currently and previously active IPSec Phase-1 IKE Tunnels. 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.
