Description: Manages DHCP snooping binding tables and trusted/untrusted port configuration on H3C switches (version 2).

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-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB?

HH3C-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB is the second-generation H3C proprietary MIB for managing DHCP Snooping, a security feature that inspects DHCP traffic to build a trusted IP-to-MAC-to-VLAN binding table and drop spoofed DHCP server responses on untrusted ports. It exposes global enable/configuration scalars, packet counters for sent/received/dropped DHCP snooping packets, and a detailed binding table recording each client's snooped IP address, VLAN, and secondary VLAN. For monitoring, the packet counters (hh3cDhcpSnoop2PktDropNum, hh3cDhcpSnoop2PktRcvNum) serve as software-level indicators of DHCP snooping activity and potential attack traffic, while the binding table doubles as an operational inventory of currently leased addresses and their port/VLAN placement, useful for network access troubleshooting rather than physical hardware status. It works alongside standard DHCP relay/client concepts and complements H3C's broader access-security MIB family (e.g., ARP suppression). It is deployed on H3C access-layer switches in enterprise and campus networks where DHCP spoofing protection and IP source guard are required.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-DHCP-SNOOP2-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 access-layer switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindTable/hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindEntry to see each client's hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindIpAddr, hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindVlanId, and hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindSecVlanId, confirming a device received its expected lease on the correct VLAN. Watching hh3cDhcpSnoop2PktDropNum climb over time indicates the switch is actively rejecting rogue DHCP server responses, a sign of an unauthorized DHCP server on the network. hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindRefreshIntvl and hh3cDhcpSnoop2BindRefresh let an operator confirm the binding database is refreshing on schedule to avoid stale entries, and administrators can download the HH3C-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCP snooping enable status
  • DHCP binding table (IP/VLAN per client)
  • dropped/received/sent DHCP snooping packet counts
  • binding database refresh interval

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cDhcpSnoop2PktSentNum OID:

Select an H3C access-layer switch (DHCP Snooping v2) 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 hh3cDhcpSnoop2PktSentNum into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of the packets send by DHCP snooping. 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.
