Description: H3C MIB for IP Accounting (IPA) tracking per-user or per-host IP traffic usage for billing and monitoring.

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-IPA-MIB?

H3C-IPA-MIB is an H3C-specific MIB for IP Accounting (IPA), used to collect traffic statistics for a user-defined set of IP addresses/hosts as packets cross an enabled router interface. Per its module description, it centers on an accounting list table (h3cIpaAccountListTable) that defines which IP addresses to track and a per-interface enable table (h3cIpaIfConfigTable) that turns accounting on and specifies whether inbound, outbound, or both directions are counted. Although sample_objects is empty for this entry, its purpose is clearly traffic/usage performance monitoring rather than hardware health — it is used for per-host or per-user billing and usage-tracking rather than fault detection. It has no explicit external MIB dependency stated, being a self-contained H3C proprietary accounting feature. It is typically deployed on H3C routers at network edges where operators need fine-grained, address-list-based IP traffic accounting for usage-based billing or capacity analysis. Engineers can download the H3C-IPA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-IPA-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.

Monitoring Examples

No object names beyond the two tables named in the module description (h3cIpaAccountListTable, h3cIpaIfConfigTable) were provided, so a fully concrete polling walk-through isn't available; based on the description, an operator would enable accounting on a given interface via h3cIpaIfConfigTable and then poll counters tied to entries in h3cIpaAccountListTable to see how much traffic each tracked address generated or received.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cIpaIntListInPackets OID:

Select an H3C router (IP traffic accounting) 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 h3cIpaIntListInPackets 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 inbound packets in h3cIpaIntListTable. 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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cIpa	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.25			This MIB is used to acquire ip accounting information. The h3cIpaAccountListTable is set by user to define the group of ip address which they want to account. This module can be enabled in each port, which was defined in the h3cIpaIfConfigTable. If this module has been enabled, the packets will be accounted when crossing the router from the ports having been enabled by user, according to whether the source/destination ip address is in h3cIpaAccountListTable and what kinds of function(in/out/both/fw) are enabled and also whether it is denied by the firewall. If it is denied by the firewall, it will be accounted in h3cIpaFWListTable If it is accepted by the firewall, and ip source or ip destination is in h3cIpaAccountListTable, it will be accounted in h3cIpaIntListTable, otherwise it will be accounted in h3cIpaExtListTable. And IP Accounting function also differentiates the packets by direction. If the packet is inbound, the accounting information can be seen as h3cIpaIntListInPackets/h3cIpaIntListInBytes in h3cIpaIntListTable, h3cIpaExtListInPackets/h3cIpaExtListInBytes in h3cIpaExtListTable, h3cIpaFWListInPackets/h3cIpaFWListInBytes in h3cIpaFWListTable. or else the accounting information can be seen as h3cIpaIntListOutPackets/h3cIpaIntListOutBytes in h3cIpaIntListTable, h3cIpaExtListOutPackets/h3cIpaExtListOutBytes in h3cIpaExtListTable, h3cIpaFWListOutPackets/h3cIpaFWListOutBytes in h3cIpaFWListTable.
