Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridge (QinQ) S-VLAN and C-VLAN configuration 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-PROVIDER-BRIDGE?

HP-ICF-PROVIDER-BRIDGE is HP's implementation of the IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridge (Q-in-Q) standard, adapted with HP proprietary extensions for ProCurve switches. It exposes configuration objects for service VLANs (S-VLANs) and customer VLANs (C-VLANs) used to tunnel customer traffic across a service-provider backbone. Being a configuration MIB, its use is chiefly to verify that VLAN stacking/tagging rules are correctly provisioned rather than to report hardware health, though incorrect S-VLAN/C-VLAN mapping would show up as a service fault. It explicitly depends on the standard 802.1ad Provider Bridge MIB structure, which it mirrors and extends with HP-specific objects. The HP-ICF-PROVIDER-BRIDGE MIB is typically deployed by service providers or large enterprises using HP ProCurve switches to segregate and tunnel multiple customers' VLAN traffic over a shared backbone.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-PROVIDER-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 switch

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were supplied for this MIB, so exact table names cannot be grounded, but consistent with a Provider Bridge MIB one would expect S-VLAN/C-VLAN mapping tables analogous to the standard 802.1ad MIB. An administrator would poll such tables to verify a customer's C-VLAN is correctly tunneled inside the expected S-VLAN, revealing misconfigured tunnels if traffic leaks between customers.

What Can Be Monitored

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hpicfProviderBridge	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40			This MIB module contains the HP 'version' of the standard Provider Bridge MIB and the proprietary extensions to it.
hpicfProviderBridgeObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1
hpicfProviderBridgeBase	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1
INT hpicfProviderBridgeType	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	hpicfProviderBridgeType controls bridge mode configuration. A device can function in one of the 4 modes defined above. vlanBridge - provider bridge feature disabled mode, all vlans are cvlans. svlanBridge - provider bridge mode with only svlans. providerEdgeBridge - provider bridge mode with cvlans and svlans and mappings between them. vlanSvlanBridge - provider bridge mode with independent cvlans and svlans on the same device. Changing from one mode to another will empty out the current configuration information and reboot the device.
I32 hpicfProviderBridgeEtherType	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.2	Integer32	read-write	Defines the 2-byte ethertype for provider tagged frames. The default is 0x88a8. Changing from one tag-type to another with a given hpicfProviderBridgeType configuration will save current configurations and reboot the device, the new tag-type will take effect subsequently.
hpicfProviderBridgeVlanTypeTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.3		not-accessible	HP proprietaty extension to dot1qVlanStaticTable to classify a vlan as a cvlan or an svlan
hpicfProviderBridgeVlanTypeEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.3.1		not-accessible	An entry for HP Specific extension table
INT hpicfProviderBridgeVlanType	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.3.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Indicates the vlantype.
hpicfProviderBridgePortTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.4		not-accessible	This specifies the designated type of an externally accessible port on a Provider Bridge.
hpicfProviderBridgePortEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.4.1		not-accessible	An entry that specifies the designated type of an externally accessible port on a Provider Bridge.
INT hpicfProviderBridgePortType	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.1.1.4.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	The type of an externally accessible port on a Provider Bridge. A customer-edge port is a C-VLAN component Port on a Provider Edge Bridge that is connected to customer owned equipment and receives and transmits frames for a single customer. Designating a port as a Customer Edge Port implies Provider Edge Bridge functionality and, specifically, the existence of a C-VLAN component associated with that port. This C-VLAN component is uniquely identified within the Bridge by the port number of the associated Customer Edge Port. A customer-network port is an S-VLAN component Port on a Provider Bridge or within a Provider Edge Bridge that receives and transmits frame for a single customer. A provider-network port is an S-VLAN component Port on a Provider Bridge that can transmit and receive frames for multiple customers.
hpicfProviderBridgeConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.2
hpicfProviderBridgeGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.2.1
hpicfProviderBridgeBaseGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.2.1.1			Basic Provider Bridge configuration information.
hpicfProviderBridgeCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.2.2
hpicfProviderBridgeCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.40.2.2.1			The compliance statement for HP Switches with IEEE standard Provider Bridge MIBs.
