Description: HH3C MIB for port security features including MAC address limiting and sticky MAC configuration on H3C 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-PORT-SECURITY-MIB?

HH3C-PORT-SECURITY-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB for the port security feature on H3C switches, which restricts and authenticates the MAC addresses/users allowed on a given switch port. It exposes configuration data for global and per-VLAN port-security control, MAC address limiting, and RALM (remote access/local management) authentication parameters such as username, password, domain, session timers, and reauthentication settings. Its role in monitoring is primarily software/security-configuration status — confirming port security is enabled (hh3cSecurePortSecurityControl), that RALM authentication mode and credentials are correctly set, and that session/holdoff timers (hh3cSecureRalmDefaultSessionTime, hh3cSecureRalmHoldoffTime) are appropriately tuned — rather than physical hardware health. It has a clear dependency on IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS/AAA concepts, and likely complements standard IF-MIB port indexing. It is typically deployed on enterprise access-layer switches where administrators need to lock down ports against unauthorized MAC addresses or rogue devices. Engineers can download the HH3C-PORT-SECURITY-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-PORT-SECURITY-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 check hh3cSecurePortSecurityControl to confirm port security is globally enabled and inspect hh3cSecureMacControl to see how MAC-limiting is configured on access ports, alongside hh3cSecurePortVlanMembershipList for VLAN scope. If hh3cSecureRalmReauthenticate is failing repeatedly, or hh3cSecureRalmAuthOfflineTime grows unexpectedly, it suggests a client is being repeatedly rejected by the RALM authentication server. Monitoring hh3cSecureRalmAuthServerTimeoutTime also helps diagnose slow or unresponsive authentication servers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port security enable/disable state
  • MAC address limiting configuration
  • RALM authentication mode and status
  • session and reauthentication timers
  • authentication server timeout
