Description: HP Networking ICF SNMP MIB version 2 for DHCP snooping trust port configuration and binding table on HP networking 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 HPN-ICF-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB?

HPN-ICF-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB is HP Networking's (H3C-derived ICF platform) second-generation MIB for DHCP Snooping, a security feature that inspects DHCP traffic to build a trusted binding table and drop rogue/spoofed DHCP traffic on HP networking switches. It exposes global enable state, the binding database name and refresh interval/trigger, packet counters for DHCP packets sent/received/dropped, and a binding table recording each learned client's IP address, VLAN ID, and secondary VLAN ID. Its monitoring value lies in software/security-feature status: confirming DHCP snooping is enabled, tracking the volume of dropped (potentially malicious or misconfigured) DHCP packets via hpnicfDhcpSnoop2PktDropNum, and inspecting the live binding table to verify legitimate client-to-IP-to-VLAN mappings are being learned correctly. It builds on standard DHCP (RFC 2131) and VLAN concepts but is an HP/H3C ICF-platform-specific private MIB. It is typically deployed on HP Networking (H3C-based) switches in enterprise access-layer networks to protect against DHCP spoofing and rogue DHCP server attacks. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-DHCP-SNOOP2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-DHCP-SNOOP2-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 Networking (H3C ICF platform) managed switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator polls hpnicfDhcpSnoop2Enabled to confirm the feature is active and monitors hpnicfDhcpSnoop2PktDropNum alongside hpnicfDhcpSnoop2PktRcvNum to detect an unusual spike in dropped DHCP packets, which would reveal an untrusted port receiving rogue DHCP server or spoofed client traffic. Checking hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindTable (hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindEntry: hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindIpAddr, hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindVlanId, hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindSecVlanId) lets the admin verify that a specific client's leased IP address is correctly bound to the expected VLAN, and hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindRefreshIntvl/hpnicfDhcpSnoop2BindRefresh confirm the binding database is being persisted/refreshed as configured.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCP snooping enable state
  • DHCP packets sent/received/dropped counters
  • DHCP binding table (IP, VLAN, secondary VLAN)
  • binding database refresh interval/status
