Description: Covers H3C Deep Application Recognition (DAR), which classifies application traffic by protocol and behavior.

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-DAR-MIB?

HH3C-DAR-MIB supports H3C's Deep Application Recognition (DAR) feature, a deep-packet-inspection-based traffic classification capability on H3C routers and switches that identifies application/protocol types traversing an interface. It exposes per-protocol traffic statistics, packet counts, byte counts, and bit rates in both directions, along with peak bit-rate values, broken out by recognized application/protocol. Its monitoring role is squarely performance/traffic-counter oriented: an administrator can see which applications are consuming bandwidth on an interface and detect when a given protocol's bit rate spikes toward or past its historical maximum. It is an H3C-proprietary extension tied to the device's internal DAR classification engine and does not depend on an external standard traffic-classification MIB, though it complements standard interface counters from IF-MIB. It is deployed on H3C routers and switches used for application-aware QoS, capacity planning, or traffic visibility in enterprise and campus networks. Engineers can download the HH3C-DAR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-DAR-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 routers
H3C switches with DAR-enabled interfaces

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hh3cDarStatisticsTable, keyed by hh3cDarStatisticsProtocolID/hh3cDarStatisticsProtocolName, to see hh3cDarStatisticsInBitRate and hh3cDarStatisticsOutBitRate for each recognized application. Comparing the current hh3cDarStatisticsInBitRate against hh3cDarStatisticsMaxInBitRate would reveal whether a protocol like video streaming or P2P traffic is running near its historical peak. A protocol suddenly consuming a disproportionate share of hh3cDarStatisticsInBytes/OutBytes relative to baseline would flag unexpected application traffic, useful for both capacity planning and anomaly detection.

What Can Be Monitored

per-application inbound/outbound packet counts
per-application inbound/outbound byte counts
per-application current bit rate
per-application maximum observed bit rate

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cDarStatisticsInPkts OID:

Select an H3C router/switch with DAR-enabled interface (Deep Application Recognition) 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 hh3cDarStatisticsInPkts 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 incoming packets of the specific protocol. 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.
