HP-ICF-DOS-FILTER-MIB

Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for Denial-of-Service (DoS) filter configuration to detect and block common network attack patterns 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.

HP-ICF-DOS-FILTER-MIB is an HP-proprietary (ICF) SNMP module for configuring Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack packet filtering on HP ProCurve switches, allowing the device to detect and block common network attack patterns such as malformed or flood-type packets. No sample objects or module description text were available for this entry, so specifics of its object structure cannot be confirmed, but by name and category it is a security-configuration MIB rather than a hardware-status one. Its monitoring relevance would be in confirming which DoS filter types are enabled and, if counters exist, how many attack packets have been filtered, which speaks to the switch's software-level security posture rather than physical health. It is a vendor-specific extension with no apparent direct standard-MIB dependency, complementing other HP ICF security MIBs like DHCP snooping. It is deployed on HP ProCurve switches at network edges where administrators want hardware-assisted filtering of common DoS attack patterns. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HP-ICF-DOS-FILTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No sample objects were provided for this module, so a concrete polling scenario cannot be grounded in real object names; in general terms, an operator would be expected to check which DoS filter categories (e.g., malformed packet types) are enabled and review any associated drop/violation counters to see whether the switch is actively filtering attack traffic on a given port.
