Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB providing basic device identity, system resources, and operational status for HP ProCurve ICF devices.

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-ICF-BASIC?

HP-ICF-BASIC is a core HP proprietary MIB for the HP Integrated Communication Facility (ICF) product line, providing foundational device-level management objects shared across HP ProCurve and Aruba switches, such as system identity and basic operational status/resource information. As a base module, it underlies many other HP-ICF MIBs that build on the objects it defines. Its monitoring role is to expose overall device software/hardware status at a basic level - general system resource and operational health indicators - rather than detailed environmental sensor data, which lives in other HP-ICF modules. It is closely related to the standard SNMPv2-MIB/RFC 1213 system group and forms the base layer many other HP-ICF-* modules depend on. It is deployed universally across HP ProCurve and Aruba ICF-based switches as a foundational management module. Engineers can download the HP-ICF-BASIC file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-BASIC. 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 switch
  • HP Aruba (ICF-based) switch

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were captured in the sampled data for this module, so a concrete OID-level example cannot be given; as a foundational module it is expected to expose basic system identity and resource/operational status objects that other HP-ICF modules build upon, rather than a standalone monitoring scenario of its own.

What Can Be Monitored

  • basic system identity
  • device operational status
  • system resource information

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfBasicLogFilterDropCounter OID:

Select an HP ProCurve/Aruba (ICF-based) switch (core device management) 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 hpicfBasicLogFilterDropCounter 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. It reports the number of event messages that were denied to log due to filtering criteria set in this filter and silently dropped. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
