Description: HH3C MIB for POS-Append (POSA) interface extensions providing additional management for POS interfaces.

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-POSA-MIB?

HH3C-POSA-MIB is an H3C (Hangzhou H3C Technologies) vendor-specific MIB — note that despite the acronym possibly suggesting Packet-over-SONET extensions, the MIB's own description and object model make clear POSA here means Point Of Sale Access, a router feature for relaying retail point-of-sale terminal traffic to application (payment processing) servers, not a SONET/POS interface extension. It models POS application servers in hh3cPosaAppTable (host IP/port, connection mode, keepalive settings, and Hh3cPeerState connection status) and POS terminals in hh3cPosaTerminalTable (access type fcm/flow/tcp, transaction application binding, and Hh3cPeerState), with hh3cPosaMapTable mapping source/destination transaction codes to specific application servers. It exposes extensive traffic counters (hh3cPosaAppRecvPkts/SendPkts/ErrPkts, hh3cPosaTerminalRecvPkts/SendPkts, and per-caller-ID statistics) and FCM (Fast Connection Modem) interface statistics (hh3cPosaFcmStatTimeoutCnts, ConnectFailCnts), plus NOTIFICATION-TYPEs for server/terminal state changes and connection-threshold exceedance. A Hh3cPeerState stuck at down/blocked or a rising hh3cPosaAppDistributeErrCnts count would indicate POS terminals cannot reach their application server, and it depends on the router's FCM/serial/TCP interfaces being configured for the POS access feature, which is why HH3C-POSA-MIB MIB engineers must confirm this application meaning rather than assume a POS-interface (SONET) context.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-POSA-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 routers supporting the POS (Point Of Sale) Access feature for retail terminal-to-application-server relay

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls hh3cPosaAppState for a configured application server ID in hh3cPosaAppTable and watches hh3cPosaAppDistributeErrCnts in hh3cPosaAppStatTable; a Hh3cPeerState of blocked combined with a climbing distribute-error count would indicate POS terminals are sending transactions that cannot be routed to the (unreachable) application server.

What Can Be Monitored

  • POS application server connection state and configuration
  • POS terminal connection state and access type (fcm/flow/tcp)
  • application-mapping table entries (source/destination code to app ID)
  • per-application and per-terminal packet counters
  • FCM interface timeout/connect-failure statistics
  • TCP/FCM connection count thresholds

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cPosaFcmStatTimeoutCnts OID:

Select an H3C router (Point-Of-Sale Access terminal-to-application-server relay) 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 hh3cPosaFcmStatTimeoutCnts 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 number of disconnections because of trade timeouts. 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.
