Description: Provides common EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) management objects shared across H3C EFM interface types.

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-EFM-COMMON-MIB?

HH3C-EFM-COMMON-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB providing common definitions for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) OAM features standardized in IEEE 802.3ah Clause 30, shared across H3C's various EFM-capable interface MIBs. Per its description, it focuses on the link-OAM changes applicable to any Ethernet-like interface rather than physical-layer-specific extensions. The sample data shows no populated objects, indicating this module functions as a common definitions/textual-conventions module rather than one exposing directly pollable runtime data itself. Where EFM OAM data is actually monitored (e.g., remote loopback status, critical event flags, dying gasp notifications), it would appear in related H3C EFM interface-specific MIBs that import definitions from this common module. It is used in H3C access/aggregation switches supporting 802.3ah link-layer OAM for first-mile Ethernet access circuits, and engineers can download the HH3C-EFM-COMMON-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser alongside the related EFM interface modules.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-EFM-COMMON-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 (Comware) Ethernet access/aggregation switches supporting IEEE 802.3ah EFM OAM

Monitoring Examples

No populated objects, tables, or notifications are present in the available source (sample_objects is empty), so no concrete monitoring scenario can be honestly stated for this module. As a common-definitions MIB, it most likely supplies shared textual conventions or object identifiers imported by other H3C EFM/802.3ah OAM MIBs rather than exposing runtime data of its own. Actual link-OAM monitoring (e.g., remote fault or dying-gasp detection) would need to be verified against those related interface-specific modules.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cDot3OamInformationTx OID:

Select an H3C Ethernet access switch 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 hh3cDot3OamInformationTx 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. It reports a count of the number of Information OAMPDUs transmitted on this interface. 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.
