Description: Provides management objects for E1 WAN interfaces including framing, line coding, and performance counters on HP/Comware 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-E1-MIB?

HPN-ICF-E1-MIB is an HP (Comware/ICF platform) enterprise MIB providing management objects for E1 WAN interfaces, filling gaps left by the standard RFC 1213 and RFC 2233 interface MIBs. It exposes an interface status table plus a rich set of physical-layer error counters covering CRC errors, alignment errors, runts, giants, overruns, dribbles, aborted sequences, and buffer-allocation failures. This data is squarely aimed at monitoring the hardware health of E1 trunk interfaces: rising error counters signal cabling, framing, clocking, or line-card faults on the WAN link before a full outage occurs. It is explicitly designed to complement, not duplicate, the IETF interface MIBs (RFC 1213/2233), so it is used alongside ifTable/ifXTable data. It is deployed on HP/H3C Comware-based routers and switches with E1 WAN interface modules, typically in telecom or enterprise WAN edge roles. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HPN-ICF-E1-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-E1-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 router or switch
  • E1 WAN interface module

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll hpnicfe1InterfaceStatusTable/hpnicfe1InterfaceStatusEntry per E1 port to check line status, and then examine hpnicfe1InterfaceInCrcErrs, hpnicfe1InterfaceInAlignErrs, and hpnicfe1InterfaceInFramingErrs to detect a degrading E1 circuit. A spike in hpnicfe1InterfaceInOverRunsErrs or hpnicfe1InterfaceInNoBufferErrs would point to a device-side buffering/CPU bottleneck rather than a line problem, helping isolate whether a WAN outage is due to the carrier circuit or the router hardware.

What Can Be Monitored

  • E1 interface status
  • CRC errors
  • alignment errors
  • runts/giants errors
  • overrun errors
  • framing errors
  • aborted sequence errors

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfe1InterfaceInErrs OID:

Select an HP/H3C Comware router or switch with E1 WAN interface module 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 hpnicfe1InterfaceInErrs 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 total number of error received on this interface. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
