What Is HP-SN-ROOT-MIB?

HP-SN-ROOT-MIB is an HP MIB rooted in the Foundry-heritage "SN" chassis architecture, used for managing HP's Foundry/Brocade-derived switch-router (SN) product family. It exposes physical chassis inventory and environmental health data, including chassis type and serial number, main and expansion board descriptions, and port totals, alongside hardware health indicators for power supplies and fans. It is squarely focused on monitoring hardware status: power supply status, fan status, and status/traffic/media LED indicators give a direct picture of chassis health, while configurable trap-enable objects (e.g. for power supply failures) drive fault notifications to a management station. No specific external MIB dependency is evident beyond standard SNMP/enterprise conventions (hp, nm, system branches). It is deployed in enterprise LAN environments managing HP SN-family chassis switch-routers. Loading the HP-SN-ROOT-MIB in a MIB Browser gives an administrator immediate visibility into the chassis inventory and hardware-health objects described above without needing to compile any additional vendor MIBs.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-SN-ROOT-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • power supply status
  • fan status
  • chassis type and serial number
  • main/expansion board port totals
  • status/traffic/media LED states
  • power-supply trap enablement

Supported Devices

  • HP SN-family (Foundry/Brocade-heritage) chassis switch-routers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll snChasPwrSupplyStatus and snChasFanStatus to detect a failed power supply or fan before it causes a thermal shutdown, cross-referencing snChasType and snChasSerNum to identify the specific chassis unit. snChasMainBrdDescription/snChasMainPortTotal and snChasExpBrdDescription/snChasExpPortTotal reveal the installed board configuration and port capacity, while snChasEnablePwrSupplyTrap controls whether a power-supply fault triggers an SNMP trap for automated alerting; snChasStatusLeds/snChasTrafficLeds/snChasMediaLeds mirror the chassis's physical LED indicators for remote visual-equivalent status checks.

FAQ

What hardware health information does HP-SN-ROOT-MIB expose for an HP SN-family chassis switch-router?
It reports chassis type and serial number, main and expansion board descriptions and port totals, plus direct power supply and fan status indicators. A network admin managing an enterprise LAN can load this MIB in a browser and immediately see whether a chassis's power supplies and fans are healthy, without compiling any additional vendor MIBs.

Can HP-SN-ROOT-MIB be used to get proactive alerts on power supply problems?
Yes — it includes configurable trap-enable objects, such as one for power supply failures, that drive SNMP notifications to a management station when a fault occurs. This lets an admin get paged on a failing power supply in an HP SN chassis rather than discovering it only during a routine status check.
