Description: Manages BGP-based MPLS VPN instances, route targets, and peer configurations on H3C provider-edge routers.

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 HH3C-BGP-VPN-MIB?

HH3C-BGP-VPN-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB for managing BGP/MPLS-based Layer 3 VPNs on H3C provider-edge routers, covering per-VPN-instance BGP peer configuration, address-family settings, and received route counts. It exposes tables describing each BGP peer's address family, sub-address-family, peer type, IP address, and associated VPN name, plus a route table tracking how many routes have been received per peer. For monitoring purposes, this MIB is mainly useful for tracking BGP/software routing-protocol health per VPN customer instance rather than physical hardware: an operator watches hh3cBgpPeerRouteRcvCount to detect a VPN peer that has stopped advertising routes (indicating session or configuration failure) even if the underlying BGP session itself appears established. It builds on and extends the standard IETF BGP4-MIB by adding VPN/VRF context that the base MIB lacks. It is deployed on H3C MPLS/VPN provider-edge routers in carrier and enterprise WAN environments offering multi-tenant L3VPN services. Engineers can download the HH3C-BGP-VPN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-BGP-VPN-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

An operator would walk hh3cBgpPeerAddrFamilyTable/hh3cBgpPeerAddrFamilyEntry to enumerate BGP peers per hh3cBgpPeerVpnIndex and hh3cBgpPeerVpnName, checking hh3cBgpPeerIPAddr and hh3cBgpPeerType to confirm the expected customer-edge or route-reflector peer is configured. Polling hh3cBgpPeerRouteTable/hh3cBgpPeerRouteRcvCount for a given VPN instance and seeing the count drop to zero would indicate the customer's route advertisements have stopped, signaling a CE-side outage or misconfiguration even while the underlying TCP session stays up. This lets NOC staff distinguish a per-VPN routing problem from a general BGP session failure.

peer IP address and type per VPN
routes received per peer
VPN instance/name mapping

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cBgpPeerRouteRcvCount OID:

Select an H3C MPLS/VPN provider-edge router (BGP L3VPN peer/route tracking) 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 hh3cBgpPeerRouteRcvCount 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. Denotes the number of routes received from the BGP peer. 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.
