Description: HH3C MIB for Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) managing fast ring topology recovery 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-RRPP-MIB?

HH3C-RRPP-MIB manages the Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP), an H3C feature providing sub-second failover for Layer 2 switches connected in an Ethernet ring topology, functioning as a faster alternative to Spanning Tree Protocol. It exposes RRPP domain configuration (control VLAN, hello/fail timers, protected VLAN instances), ring enable status, and password/authentication settings for domain security. Its monitoring focus is fault detection and topology health: watching hello-timer and fail-timer behavior, domain enable status, and ring-related notifications reveals whether the ring has experienced a link break and whether protection switching completed within the expected time. It is a vendor-specific alternative/complement to the IETF-standard spanning-tree MIBs (BRIDGE-MIB) for environments needing faster convergence than STP/RSTP provide. It is deployed on H3C metro and campus switches interconnected in ring topologies, common in carrier access networks and industrial/campus backbone rings. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HH3C-RRPP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-RRPP-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 Ethernet ring switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll hh3cRrppDomainTable fields like hh3cRrppDomainHelloTime and hh3cRrppDomainFailTime for a given hh3cRrppDomainID to confirm ring health-check timers are operating normally, and check hh3cRrppEnableStatus to verify the protocol is active on the ring. A ring failure would typically be caught via hh3cRrppNotifications traps combined with an unexpected change in hh3cRrppDomainRowStatus, indicating a break in the ring requiring investigation of the affected link.

What Can Be Monitored

RRPP domain enable status
hello/fail timer values
ring protection VLAN configuration
ring topology-change notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cRrppPortRXError OID:

Select an H3C Ethernet ring switch (Rapid Ring Protection Protocol) 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 hh3cRrppPortRXError 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 statistics of illegal RRPP packets received from this port. 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.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hh3cRrpp	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45			The RRPP (Rapid Ring Protection protocol) provides fast protection switching to layer 2 switches interconnected in an Ethernet ring topology. When a link in the ring breaks, the RRPP can recover the data path quickly. Its protection switching is similar to what can be achieved with the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), but the converging time is less than a second after link failure. This MIB defines management information used on products which support RRPP.
hh3cRrppScalarGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45.1

OCT hh3cRrppPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45.1.2	OCTET STRING	read-write	Password configured for RRPP nodes to identify the validity of a link-down message. This value must be set together with hh3cRrppPasswordType which indicates whether this value can be got. This value can not be set alone without configuring hh3cRrppPasswordType.
INT hh3cRrppPasswordType	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	Indicating whether the hh3cRrppPassword can be got. simple(1):hh3cRrppPassword can be got. cipher(2):hh3cRrppPassword can not be got. This value can not be set alone without configuring hh3cRrppPassword.
INT hh3cRrppProtectVlanConfigMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	Indicating the mode in which the protected VLANs of an RRPP domain are configured. The value 'vlan' indicates that hh3cRrppDomainProtectVlanListLow and hh3cRrppDomainProtectVlanListHigh can be used for setting protected VLANs, while hh3cRrppDomainInstanceListLow and hh3cRrppDomainInstanceListHigh cannot. By contraries, the value 'instance' indicates that 3cRrppDomainInstanceListLow and hh3cRrppDomainInstanceListHigh can be used for setting protected VLANs while the other two cannot.

Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the highest numbered instance, and the least significant bit represents the lowest numbered instance. Thus, each instance to which the protected VLANs of an RRPP domain are mapped corresponds to a bit within the value of this object. A bit with a value of '1' indicates that the VLANs mapped to the instance are protected VLANs of the RRPP domain. By contraries, the VLANs mapped to the instance are not protected VLANs if the corresponding bit has a value of '0'. The value of this object must be set with hh3cRrppDomainInstanceListHigh at the same time when a SET operation is performed. This object is valid only when the value of hh3cRrppProtectVlanConfigMode is 'instance'. If this object is invalid, it does not respond to SET operation, and it returns all '0' bits in response to GET operation.

Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the highest numbered instance, and the least significant bit represents the lowest numbered instance. The most significant bit of the last octet is invalid. Thus, each instance to which the protected VLANs of an RRPP domain are mapped corresponds to a bit within the value of this object. A bit with a value of '1' indicates that the VLANs mapped to the instance are protected VLANs of the RRPP domain. By contraries, the VLANs mapped to the instance are not protected VLANs if the corresponding bit has a value of '0'. The value of this object must be set with hh3cRrppDomainInstanceListLow at the same time when a SET operation is performed. This object is valid only when the value of hh3cRrppProtectVlanConfigMode is 'instance'. If this object is invalid, it does not respond to SET operation, and it returns all '0' bits in response to GET operation.

Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the highest numbered VLAN, and the least significant bit represents the lowest numbered VLAN. The least significant bit of the first octet is invalid. Thus, each protected VLAN of an RRPP domain corresponds to a bit within the value of this object. A bit with a value of '1' indicates that the corresponding VLAN is a protected VLAN of the RRPP domain. By contraries, the VLAN is not a protected VLAN if the corresponding bit has a value of '0'. The value of this object must be set with hh3cRrppDomainProtectVlanListHigh at the same time when a SET operation is performed. This object is valid only when the value of hh3cRrppProtectVlanConfigMode is 'vlan'. If this object is invalid, it does not respond to SET operation, and it returns all '0' bits in response to GET operation.

Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the highest numbered VLAN, and the least significant bit represents the lowest numbered VLAN. The most significant bit of the last octet is invalid. Thus, each protected VLAN of an RRPP domain corresponds to a bit within the value of this object. A bit with a value of '1' indicates that the corresponding VLAN is a protected VLAN of the RRPP domain. By contraries, the VLAN is not a protected VLAN if the corresponding bit has a value of '0'. The value of this object must be set with hh3cRrppDomainProtectVlanListLow at the same time when a SET operation is performed. This object is valid only when the value of hh3cRrppProtectVlanConfigMode is 'vlan'.

INT hh3cRrppRingNodeMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.25506.2.45.2.2.1.5	INTEGER	read-create	There are four RRPP node modes for the switch on a RRPP ring, such as master, transit, edge and assistant-edge. Each RRPP ring has a single designated master-node. All other nodes except edge-node and assistant-edge-node on that ring are referred to as transit-nodes. The node mode of edge and assistant-edge should be configured only on sub-ring. When there is a common link between a sub-ring and its major-ring, the node mode of the sub-ring must be edge or assistant-edge, and they must be configured in pairs. If node mode is designated as edge or assistant-edge, several points should be noticed: Major-ring must be created before a sub-ring is created; Major-ring can't be deleted unless all its sub-rings are deleted; The node mode of the switch on major-ring must be transit; Major-ring and sub-ring must have only a common port.
