Description: HP ServerNet (Foundry-heritage) SNMP MIB for OSPF routing configuration and LSDB management on HP SN routing 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-OSPF-GROUP-MIB?

HP-SN-OSPF-GROUP-MIB is an HP routing switch MIB (inherited from the Foundry-derived "sn" object tree) that manages OSPF dynamic routing protocol configuration and state. It belongs to the enterprise routing/switching technology area for HP's Layer 3 network devices. Its data covers OSPF general process configuration, area definitions, address-range summarization, per-interface OSPF settings, virtual-link interfaces, and route redistribution — configuration and protocol-state data rather than hardware sensors. It supports monitoring of software/protocol status by exposing OSPF interface, area, and virtual-interface state, letting an operator confirm OSPF adjacencies and areas are correctly configured and operational rather than down or misconfigured. Viewing it in an HP-SN-OSPF-GROUP-MIB MIB Browser makes it easy to walk the OSPF area, interface, and virtual-link tables side by side while auditing a routing switch's configuration. It closely mirrors and depends on concepts from the standard IETF OSPF-MIB (RFC 1850), adapted into HP's private "sn" enterprise tree. It is deployed in enterprise/campus networks running HP routing switches that use OSPF for internal routing.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-SN-OSPF-GROUP-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 routing switches (Foundry-heritage)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll snOspfIntf to check per-interface OSPF state and snOspfArea to verify an area's configuration matches intended topology. snOspfVirtIf would be checked when troubleshooting virtual-link connectivity between non-backbone areas and the backbone, revealing a stuck or down virtual link. snOspfAddrRange and snOspfRedis would be reviewed to confirm route summarization ranges and redistribution policies are behaving as configured, flagging unexpected route leakage.

What Can Be Monitored

  • OSPF interface state
  • OSPF area configuration
  • OSPF virtual interface status
  • address range summarization
  • route redistribution settings
