Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for IEEE 802.1D/802.1Q bridge management including spanning tree and forwarding database on 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-ICF-BRIDGE?

HP-ICF-BRIDGE is an HP proprietary MIB extending the standard IEEE 802.1D/802.1Q Bridge MIBs with HP-specific objects for spanning tree and forwarding-database (FDB) management on HP ProCurve switches. As a bridge extension, it would typically expose additional per-port spanning-tree state, bridge priority/timer settings, and forwarding-table entries beyond what the base BRIDGE-MIB defines. Its monitoring value is Layer 2 topology and loop-prevention health: tracking spanning tree port states and forwarding-database entries helps administrators detect topology changes, blocked ports, or unexpected MAC learning that could indicate a network loop or misconfigured link. It has an explicit dependency on the standard Bridge MIBs (BRIDGE-MIB/RFC 4188 and Q-BRIDGE-MIB) which it extends rather than replaces. It is deployed on HP ProCurve switches in networks running spanning tree protocol for loop prevention, and administrators can download the HP-ICF-BRIDGE MIB file to load it into their MIB browser for detailed bridge monitoring.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-BRIDGE. 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 network switch

Monitoring Examples

No specific object names were present in the provided sample for this MIB, so a concrete polling scenario using real identifiers cannot be honestly constructed. Conceptually, based on its stated purpose, an admin would expect to extend standard dot1dStp objects with HP-specific per-port state or FDB detail, watching for unexpected port state transitions (forwarding to blocking) that would indicate a topology change or loop. Without sample objects, no invented names are used here.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfBridgeLoopProtectPortLoopCount OID:

Select an HP ProCurve switch (802.1D/Q bridge/STP extensions) 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 hpicfBridgeLoopProtectPortLoopCount 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. This object provides the number of loops detected on a Loop Protection enabled 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.
