HH3C-GOLD-MIB

Description: Manages Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) test scheduling and results on H3C modular router/switch platforms.

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.

HH3C-GOLD-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB supporting Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD), a hardware self-test/diagnostic framework used on H3C's modular chassis-based routers and switches to continuously verify internal interconnects between line cards, fabric modules, and CPUs. It exposes objects describing inter-process-communication (LIPC) link endpoints identified by chassis, slot, and CPU IDs on both the source and destination sides of an internal link, plus a trap mechanism for reporting diagnostic events. This MIB is directly about hardware health monitoring: it lets an operator verify that internal chassis fabric/control links between specific slots and CPUs are healthy, and receive traps (hh3cGoldTrap) when GOLD detects an internal hardware fault such as a failed backplane link or malfunctioning module. It does not depend on external standard MIBs but is specific to H3C's modular chassis diagnostic architecture. It is deployed on H3C modular routers/switches (multi-slot chassis platforms) where internal hardware integrity between supervisor and line-card modules must be continuously verified. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HH3C-GOLD-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator troubleshooting intermittent performance on a modular chassis would inspect hh3cGoldLipcLinkSourceChassisID, hh3cGoldLipcLinkSourceSlotID, and hh3cGoldLipcLinkSourceCpuID alongside the corresponding destination fields to identify which internal inter-process-communication link GOLD is testing between two line cards or a line card and supervisor. Receipt of an hh3cGoldTrap with a populated hh3cGoldTrapOjbects/hh3cGoldTrapObjectDefinitions payload would indicate a specific internal hardware link failed a diagnostic test, pointing to a potential faulty module or backplane connector in a named slot. This lets NOC staff pinpoint a physical hardware problem inside a chassis before it causes a full card or system failure.
