Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRPv2) configuration and master election status on HP ProCurve routers.

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-VRRP-MIB?

HP-ICF-VRRP-MIB contains Hewlett-Packard's proprietary extensions to the standard VRRP MIB (RFC 2787), adding vendor-specific configuration and state objects for VRRPv2 first-hop router redundancy on HP ProCurve routers/switches. It exposes VRRP group configuration (virtual router ID, priority, virtual IP) and current state (master/backup/init) for each VRRP instance. Its monitoring value is software/protocol status — detecting unexpected master/backup role transitions, which typically indicate a router or link failure triggering a VRRP failover, and confirming the intended router is currently acting as master. It explicitly depends on and extends the standard RFC 2787 VRRP MIB, adding HP-specific objects to that base model. It is deployed in networks using VRRP for default-gateway redundancy on HP Layer 3 switching/routing platforms, and administrators can download the HP-ICF-VRRP-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-VRRP-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 router/Layer 3 switch

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object names were present in the sampled source beyond the module description, so specifics cannot be confirmed here. Combined with the standard VRRP MIB's virtual-router state objects, an administrator would poll this module to confirm which HP router currently holds the VRRP master role and be alerted to an unplanned failover to backup, which typically signals the primary router or its uplink has gone down.

What Can Be Monitored

VRRP instance master/backup state
VRRP virtual router configuration
VRRP priority settings

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfVrrpStatsNearFailovers OID:

Select an HP ProCurve router/Layer 3 switch (VRRPv2 extensions) 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 hpicfVrrpStatsNearFailovers 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 reports the number of near failovers for backup virtual routers. 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.
