HP-ICF-L3MAC-MIB

Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for Layer 3 MAC address management tracking routed interface MAC addresses 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-L3MAC-MIB is a Hewlett-Packard proprietary extension MIB within the ICF (Integrated Communication Facility) family used across HP ProCurve/Aruba managed switches and routers. It exposes configuration data tied to Layer 3 routed interfaces, specifically the per-interface MAC address assignments used when a VLAN or routed port needs its own hardware address. As a configuration-oriented module it is less about live performance counters and more about verifying that each routed interface has the expected MAC address bound to it, which is useful for detecting misconfiguration or address-conflict faults rather than CPU, memory, or environmental health. It depends on the base IF-MIB interface indexing model and HP's own ICF object hierarchy to correlate MAC entries with interface indexes. It is typically deployed in enterprise campus networks where HP ProCurve Layer 3 switches undergo HP-ICF-L3MAC-MIB SNMP monitoring by network management systems to audit MAC-to-interface bindings.

Because sample_objects is empty for this MIB, no specific table or object names can be grounded from the source; in practice this module would define an interface-indexed table mapping ifIndex to a Layer 3 MAC address object. An administrator would poll such a table to confirm each routed VLAN interface presents the correct MAC address, revealing misconfiguration if an interface shows an unexpected or duplicate MAC.
