Description: HP Networking ICF SNMP MIB for Application Control Forwarding Protocol (ACFP) enabling third-party service collaboration with 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-ACFP-MIB?

HPN-ICF-ACFP-MIB is an HP Networking (Comware ICF) MIB supporting the Application Control Forwarding Protocol (ACFP), a mechanism that lets third-party service appliances register with and receive traffic-steering instructions from HP routers/switches. It exposes server-side configuration (rule lifetime, persistent rules, context type) and a client registration table listing each connected ACFP client's identity, IP address, and version information. Its monitoring value is largely about the health and identity of attached service partners rather than the router's own hardware: administrators can confirm which client appliances are currently registered, their hardware/OS/application versions, and whether stale or unexpected clients are present. It is a vendor-specific (HP/Comware ICF) extension with no dependency on external IETF MIBs beyond standard SNMP framework MIBs. It is typically deployed on HP/H3C Comware-based routers and switches that integrate with third-party security or optimization appliances via ACFP. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-ACFP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-ACFP-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/H3C Comware ICF router or switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator polls hpnicfAcfpClientInfoTable/hpnicfAcfpClientInfoEntry to review each registered client's hpnicfAcfpClientID, hpnicfAcfpClientIP, hpnicfAcfpClientHwVersion, and hpnicfAcfpClientOSVersion. If a previously-registered client disappears from the table, or hpnicfAcfpClientAppVersion shows an unexpectedly old version, it flags a lost registration or an out-of-date service appliance. hpnicfAcfpServerMaxLifetime and hpnicfAcfpServerCurContextType show the server-side rule expiration policy governing how long those client registrations remain valid.

What Can Be Monitored

  • registered ACFP client list
  • client hardware/OS/application versions
  • client IP addresses
  • server rule lifetime/context settings
  • persistent rule configuration
