Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for virtual network overlay configuration including VXLAN tunnels and virtual network IDs 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-VIRTUAL-NETWORK-MIB?

HP-ICF-VIRTUAL-NETWORK-MIB is an HP proprietary SNMP module for managing virtual network overlays on HP ProCurve switches, covering VXLAN tunnel configuration and virtual network ID (VNI) assignment used to build Layer 2 overlays across a Layer 3 underlay. It exposes configuration and status objects for defined virtual networks, their VLAN mappings, and the state of VXLAN tunnel interfaces connecting them. For monitoring, the MIB's hpicfVXLANTunnelIfDownReason object is directly relevant to fault/software-status tracking, telling an administrator why a given VXLAN tunnel interface is down, alongside counts of configured versus maximum allowed virtual networks (hpicfTotalVirtualNetworks vs hpicfMaxVirtualNetworks) for capacity monitoring. It depends on underlying VXLAN/VNI standards and the switch's VLAN infrastructure, since each virtual network maps to a local VLAN ID. It is typically deployed in data center fabric or campus overlay networks where HP switches provide VXLAN gateway functionality between virtualized and physical network segments. Engineers can download the HP-ICF-VIRTUAL-NETWORK-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-VIRTUAL-NETWORK-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 (VXLAN/overlay-capable)

Monitoring Examples

The module exposes hpicfVirtualNetworkTable/Entry keyed by hpicfVirtualNetworkID, holding hpicfVirtualNetworkName and hpicfVirtualNetworkVLANID, alongside hpicfVXLANTunnelIfTable/Entry holding hpicfVXLANTunnelIfDownReason and hpicfVXLANTunnelIfNextHopIpType for each tunnel interface. An administrator would poll hpicfVXLANTunnelIfDownReason across all tunnel interfaces to quickly spot a specific overlay tunnel that has failed and why (e.g., next-hop unreachable), and compare hpicfTotalVirtualNetworks to hpicfMaxVirtualNetworks to catch a switch approaching its VNI capacity limit before new virtual networks fail to provision. hpicfVirtualNetworkRowStatus would additionally confirm whether a given virtual network entry is active, notInService, or being created/destroyed.

What Can Be Monitored

VXLAN tunnel interface status/down reason
virtual network ID to VLAN mapping
configured vs. maximum virtual networks
virtual network row status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfVXLANTunnelStatsTxMTUViolation OID:

Select an HP ProCurve switch (VXLAN/overlay virtual networks) 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 hpicfVXLANTunnelStatsTxMTUViolation into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This object provides the number of packets which were not transmitted from the tunnel interface because of MTU violations. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
