Description: Monitors IPsec security association (SA) status, traffic counters, and tunnel health on HP/Comware VPN 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-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB?

This MIB provides monitoring of IPsec security associations (SAs) and tunnels on HP/Comware VPN-capable devices, letting an operator retrieve statistics for a single tunnel or all active tunnels. It belongs to the HP/H3C ICF family and, per its stated purpose, focuses purely on IPsec tunnel/SA statistics rather than configuration. Its principal monitoring value is verifying the software/security state of VPN connectivity: tracking whether expected tunnels are up, how much traffic each SA has processed, and surfacing tunnels that have gone down or are experiencing negotiation failures. IPsec monitoring of this kind is conceptually aligned with (though not a strict extension of) the IETF's standard IPsec-related MIB conventions for security association tracking. It is deployed on HP/Comware routers and security gateways terminating IPsec VPN tunnels between sites or to remote clients. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HPN-ICF-IPSEC-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-IPSEC-MONITOR-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/Comware VPN router/security gateway

Monitoring Examples

No concrete sample object names were provided for this MIB, but based on its stated purpose an administrator would typically poll per-tunnel SA status and traffic counters (e.g., an IPsec tunnel/SA table) to confirm a site-to-site VPN tunnel remains established and passing traffic, with a stalled counter or a status change indicating the tunnel dropped. Because no table/object names are available in the sample set, this scenario is described at a conceptual rather than object-specific level.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IPsec tunnel status
  • IPsec SA traffic statistics
  • per-tunnel/per-SA counters

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfIPSecGlobalInOctets OID:

Select a HP/Comware VPN router/security gateway (IPsec tunnel statistics) 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 hpnicfIPSecGlobalInOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by all current and previous IPSec Phase-2 Tunnels. 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 Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
