Description: HP SNMP MIB (hpSwitchAuthorizationMIB) providing authorization policy management for HP ProCurve 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 HP-AUTZ-MIB?

HP-AUTZ-MIB (internally hpSwitchAuthorizationMIB) is an HP-proprietary SNMP module for managing user authorization services, such as external authorization/RADIUS-style server settings and local privilege configuration, on HP ProCurve networking switches. It exposes configuration objects for authorization servers (server IP/type, notification enable) and local privilege settings, structured under config-object groups with associated conformance/compliance statements. As a monitoring MIB its value is mostly around software/service configuration status rather than hardware health: hpicfSwitchAuthServerIP and hpicfSwitchAuthServerIPType let an operator confirm which authorization server is configured and reachable, while hpicfSwitchAuthServerNotifyEnable indicates whether the switch will trap on authorization-server-related events, useful for catching an authorization service outage. HP-AUTZ-MIB SNMP monitoring is thus primarily a matter of confirming authorization service reachability and configuration consistency rather than tracking hardware sensors. It is a vendor-specific extension that complements, rather than replaces, standard AAA-related MIBs used elsewhere in HP's ProCurve MIB family. It is deployed on HP ProCurve switches in enterprise networks that enforce centralized user authorization for administrative or network access control.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-AUTZ-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

  • HP ProCurve switches

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check hpicfSwitchAuthServerIPType and hpicfSwitchAuthServerIP to verify the configured authorization server address is correct and of the expected address family, and confirm hpicfSwitchAuthServerNotifyEnable is set so that the switch will notify the NMS if that server becomes unreachable. The hpSwitchAuthConfigObjects and hpSwitchAuthLocalPrivConfigObjects groups would be reviewed together to ensure local privilege fallback settings are configured as a backup in case the external authorization server is unavailable, and hpSwitchAuthorizationMIBCompliances defines which conformance level a given switch implementation supports.

What Can Be Monitored

  • authorization server IP address and type
  • authorization server notification/trap enable state
  • local privilege configuration settings
  • conformance/compliance level supported
