Description: HP Networking ICF SNMP MIB for 3G cellular modem WAN interface configuration and connection status on HP 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 HPN-ICF-3GMODEM-MIB?

HPN-ICF-3GMODEM-MIB is an HP Networking ICF proprietary SNMP module for HP routers that support 3G cellular WAN modem cards, exposing inventory and connection information for the wireless card and its User Identification Module (UIM/SIM). It covers hardware inventory data such as model, manufacturer, serial number, and hardware/firmware version of the installed wireless card, along with cellular-specific version data like the PRL (Preferred Roaming List). This is a clear hardware and firmware status monitoring MIB: hpnicfWirelessCardHardwareVersion and hpnicfWirelessCardFirmwareVersion let an administrator confirm the exact hardware/firmware revision installed, while hpnicfWirelessCardSerialNumber supports asset tracking, and the table's association with hpnicfWirelessCardInterfaceIndex ties the modem to its logical WAN interface for correlating with standard interface status. It complements the standard IF-MIB, since interface up/down and traffic state for the cellular link would be read from IF-MIB using the interface index this MIB provides. It is typically deployed on HP branch or remote-site routers using 3G cellular as a primary or backup WAN connection. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-3GMODEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-3GMODEM-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 branch/remote-site router (3G cellular WAN)

Monitoring Examples

The module exposes hpnicfWirelessCardTable/Entry keyed by hpnicfWirelessCardIndex, holding hpnicfWirelessCardModelName, hpnicfWirelessCardMfgName, hpnicfWirelessCardSerialNumber, hpnicfWirelessCardHardwareVersion, hpnicfWirelessCardFirmwareVersion, hpnicfWirelessCardPRLVersion, and hpnicfWirelessCardInterfaceIndex. An administrator would poll hpnicfWirelessCardFirmwareVersion and hpnicfWirelessCardPRLVersion across a fleet of branch routers to identify units running outdated firmware or roaming lists that may need updating, and use hpnicfWirelessCardInterfaceIndex to cross-reference the modem with IF-MIB interface status to confirm the cellular link itself is up. A card missing from the table or reporting no serial number would indicate the wireless card is not detected or has failed.

What Can Be Monitored

  • wireless card model/manufacturer/serial number
  • hardware and firmware version
  • PRL (roaming list) version
  • cellular interface index (link to IF-MIB status)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfWirelessCardModemStatus OID:

Select an HP branch/remote-site router with 3G cellular WAN modem card 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 hpnicfWirelessCardModemStatus 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. The status of modem. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'onLine', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
