Description: HP ServerNet (Foundry-heritage) SNMP MIB for MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnel configuration and LSP statistics on HP SN devices.

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-SN-MPLS-TE-MIB?

HP-SN-MPLS-TE-MIB is a MIB inherited from HP's ServerNet (originally Foundry/Brocade-heritage) product line implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering management objects as defined in IETF RFC 3209, RFC 2702, and related drafts. It exposes configuration and operational data for MPLS TE tunnels, including tunnel indexing, ingress/egress LSR identifiers, administrative names, and traffic engineering distribution protocol settings. Its monitoring value covers both configuration status (tunnel configured vs. active state via mplsTunnelConfigured/mplsTunnelActive) and operational health of label-switched paths, useful for detecting a tunnel that failed to establish or an LSP that is down. It explicitly depends on and follows the structure of the IETF standard MPLS-TE MIB referenced in its own description (RFC 3209/2702), extended with HP/Foundry-specific scalars. It is typically deployed in service-provider or large enterprise WAN cores using HP SN (Foundry-heritage) MPLS routers for traffic-engineered path management. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HP-SN-MPLS-TE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-SN-MPLS-TE-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 SN (Foundry-heritage) MPLS router/switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll mplsTunnelTable (indexed by mplsTunnelIndex/mplsTunnelInstance) to check mplsTunnelIngressLSRId, mplsTunnelEgressLSRId, and mplsTunnelName alongside the scalar mplsTunnelActive count versus mplsTunnelConfigured count. A mismatch where fewer tunnels are active than configured would reveal one or more MPLS TE LSPs failing to signal, and mplsTunnelMaxHops helps confirm the path constraint used during setup.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configured vs active tunnel counts
  • tunnel ingress/egress LSR identifiers
  • tunnel name and index
  • traffic engineering distribution protocol setting

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using mplsTunnelPathChanges OID:

Select an HP SN (Foundry-heritage) MPLS router/switch (Traffic Engineering) 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 mplsTunnelPathChanges 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. Specifies the number of times the paths has changed for this tunnel. 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.
