Description: Monitors IPsec security associations, tunnel status, and encrypted traffic statistics on H3C VPN 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.

What Is HH3C-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB?

HH3C-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB is an H3C (Huawei-3Com) enterprise MIB for monitoring IPsec VPN tunnels, within the network security/VPN management area on H3C routers, switches, and firewalls. Per its module description, it is designed to retrieve statistical information about IPsec tunnels, for either a specific tunnel or all tunnels on the device. Its monitoring emphasis is squarely on software/service status rather than physical hardware: tunnel state (up/down), security-association status, and encrypted/decrypted traffic counters let an administrator detect a failed or renegotiating VPN tunnel, or unusually low/zero traffic indicating a stalled connection. It likely complements H3C's own IKE/ISAKMP management MIBs, which would cover key-exchange/negotiation detail underlying the tunnels this MIB reports on. Typical deployment is H3C VPN gateways, routers, and firewalls in enterprise site-to-site or remote-access IPsec VPN deployments. Engineers can download the HH3C-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-IPSEC-MONITOR-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 (Huawei-3Com) routers
  • H3C VPN gateways/firewalls

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were included in the available source excerpt, so exact objects cannot be confirmed; based on the module description, this MIB would expose a per-tunnel table with a tunnel status/state object and encrypted/decrypted packet or byte counters, queryable for one tunnel or aggregated across all tunnels. An administrator monitoring a site-to-site VPN would poll per-tunnel status to catch a tunnel that dropped to a down or negotiating state, and check traffic counters to confirm the tunnel is actually carrying the expected volume of encrypted traffic.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-tunnel IPsec status (up/down/negotiating)
  • encrypted/decrypted traffic statistics per tunnel
  • aggregate IPsec tunnel count
  • security association state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cIPSecTunTotalRefreshes OID:

Select an H3C router/VPN gateway/firewall (IPsec tunnel statistics) 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 hh3cIPSecTunTotalRefreshes 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 total number of security association refreshing performed. 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.
