Description: Provides Fibre Channel traceroute diagnostic objects for path discovery on H3C FC fabric switches.

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-FC-TRACE-ROUTE-MIB?

HH3C-FC-TRACE-ROUTE-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB for managing Fibre Channel traceroute diagnostics on H3C Fibre Channel (FC) fabric switches, letting a management station trigger and retrieve path-discovery results between FC endpoints within a VSAN. It exposes a trace configuration/results table capturing the target address, VSAN, timeout, aging interval, administrative and operational status, and whether a trap fires on completion. The monitoring value here is diagnostic/operational rather than continuous polling of hardware sensors: hh3cFcTraceRouteOperStatus tells an operator whether a triggered trace has completed, failed, or is in progress, which is used to verify FC fabric path health and connectivity between storage-network nodes. It is layered on top of standard Fibre Channel fabric addressing/VSAN concepts (akin to IETF/ANSI T11 FC-GS conventions) though implemented as an H3C proprietary extension. It is deployed in H3C SAN (storage area network) environments where Fibre Channel switches need active path-diagnostic tooling similar to IP traceroute. Engineers can download the HH3C-FC-TRACE-ROUTE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-FC-TRACE-ROUTE-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

A SAN administrator would create an entry in hh3cFcTraceRouteTable/hh3cFcTraceRouteEntry specifying hh3cFcTraceRouteVsan, hh3cFcTraceRouteAddressType, and hh3cFcTraceRouteAddress for the target device, set hh3cFcTraceRouteAdminStatus to initiate the trace, and then poll hh3cFcTraceRouteOperStatus until it reports completion. If hh3cFcTraceRouteTrapOnCompletion is enabled, the switch will notify the manager via trap rather than requiring polling, at which point the results in hh3cFcTraceRouteResults reveal the hop-by-hop path or a failure point in the fabric. This is used to diagnose SAN connectivity problems between a host and a storage array across a multi-switch Fibre Channel fabric.

What Can Be Monitored

FC trace route target/VSAN configuration
trace admin/operational status
trace timeout and aging interval
trace completion trap notification

hh3cFcTraceRouteEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1		not-accessible	A trace route request entry that needs to be executed at the agent.
U32 hh3cFcTraceRouteIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1.1	Unsigned32	accessible-for-notify	The index of the current trace route entry. This object uniquely identifies a trace route request entry in a specified VSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network).
HH3 hh3cFcTraceRouteVsan	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1.2	Hh3cFcVsanIndex	read-create	The VSAN on which the trace route request will be executed. If the corresponding instance value of hh3cFcTraceRouteOperStatus is 'inProgress', the object cannot be modified.
ADR hh3cFcTraceRouteAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1.3	Hh3cFcAddressType	read-create	The type of the corresponding instance of hh3cFcTraceRouteAddress object.
ADR hh3cFcTraceRouteAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1.4	Hh3cFcAddress	read-create	The address to which the route will be traced. This object will contain an 8-octet WWN (World Wide Name), if the value of the associated instance of hh3cFcTraceRouteAddressType object is 'wwn'. This object will contain a 3-octet Fibre Channel ID, if the value of the associated instance of hh3cFcTraceRouteAddressType object is 'fcid'.
U32 hh3cFcTraceRouteTimeout	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.127.4.1.1.1.1.5	Unsigned32	read-create	The value of timeout for this trace route request. If the corresponding instance value of hh3cFcTraceRouteOperStatus object is 'inProgress', this object cannot be modified.

The object has two values: enable - Activate the entry. disable - Deactivate the entry. When the trace route entry is being executed, this object cannot be modified. If this object is being read, a value of 'enable' will be returned. When the execution finishes, the value of this object will be set to 'disable'.
