Description: Describes chassis-level hardware for HP ProCurve/Aruba switches, including sensor readings (temperature, fans, power), slot mapping, and entity configuration.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring HP-ICF-CHASSIS with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is HP-ICF-CHASSIS?

HP-ICF-CHASSIS is an HP proprietary MIB describing chassis-level hardware for HP ProCurve and Aruba modular switches, covering physical chassis structure, slot/module mapping, and environmental sensors. Its module description explicitly notes that most of this MIB has been superseded by the standard ENTITY-MIB, with the hpicfSensorTable remaining the enduring, still-valid part reporting sensor readings for temperature, fans, and power. This makes it squarely a hardware environmental-monitoring MIB, used to detect over-temperature conditions, fan failures, or power-supply problems per chassis slot. It complements the standard ENTITY-MIB for physical inventory and entity indexing. It is deployed on HP ProCurve/Aruba modular chassis switches that need per-slot environmental/sensor monitoring. Engineers can download the HP-ICF-CHASSIS file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-CHASSIS. 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 modular chassis switch
HP Aruba (ICF-based) chassis switch

Monitoring Examples

hpicfSensorTable is called out directly in the module's own description as the part of this MIB that remains valid even though the rest was superseded by ENTITY-MIB; an administrator polls its per-sensor entries for temperature, fan, and power-supply readings, alerting when a sensor's status transitions from normal to a warning or failure state, which would indicate an overheating slot or a failed fan in the chassis.

What Can Be Monitored

chassis sensor temperature readings
fan status
power supply status
slot/module mapping

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfSensorWarnings OID:

Select an HP ProCurve/Aruba modular chassis switch (environmental sensors) 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 hpicfSensorWarnings 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 times hpicfSensorStatus has entered the 'warning'(3) state. 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.
