Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for Location Management Agent (LMA) providing device physical location tracking on HP ProCurve networks.

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-LMA-MIB?

HP-ICF-LMA-MIB is an HP proprietary MIB belonging to the ICF suite; despite its name suggesting location management, its actual module description indicates it manages Local MAC Authentication (LMA), a port-security feature that authenticates devices by MAC address on HP ProCurve switches. It exposes configuration objects for enabling and tuning MAC-based authentication on switch ports rather than continuous performance data. Its monitoring relevance is chiefly around access-control/security status: whether LMA is enabled per port and what authentication state a connected device is in, which is a software/feature-status check more than a hardware health check. It relies on the standard interface indexing conventions from IF-MIB to associate authentication settings with specific switch ports. It is typically deployed in secured LAN edge environments where HP ProCurve switches enforce MAC-based network access control. Engineers can download the HP-ICF-LMA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-LMA-MIB. 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

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were provided for this MIB, so specific object names cannot be grounded; a plausible implementation would include a per-port LMA enable/status object and possibly a table of authenticated client MAC addresses. An administrator would poll the per-port status to confirm LMA is active on edge ports and check the authenticated-client table to see which devices have successfully authenticated.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port Local MAC Authentication enable status
  • authenticated client MAC entries

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfLmaSessionUsrNumberCnt OID:

Select an HP ProCurve switch (Local MAC Authentication port security) 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 hpicfLmaSessionUsrNumberCnt 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 specifies the number of authenticated clients currently present on this 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.
