HPN-ICF-LswARP-MIB

Description: Manages ARP table entries, ARP proxy, and ARP attack detection on HP/Comware Layer 2/3 switches.

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.

This MIB manages the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table and related features, including proxy ARP and ARP attack/spoofing detection, on HP/Comware Layer 2/3 switches. It belongs to the HP/H3C "Lsw" (LAN switch) MIB family focused on Layer 2/3 forwarding-plane configuration and security state rather than physical hardware sensors. Its monitoring value lies in the software state of the switch's address-resolution table and security posture: tracking ARP entry counts, dynamic/static entry status, and detected ARP attacks helps an operator spot IP/MAC spoofing attempts or ARP table exhaustion that could disrupt Layer 2/3 forwarding. It is a proprietary HP/H3C module with no direct dependency on the IETF standard IP-MIB ARP table, though it manages conceptually the same function. It is deployed on HP/Comware access and aggregation switches wherever ARP-table integrity and ARP-based attack detection need to be monitored. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-LswARP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No sample object names or module description text were available for this MIB, so a concrete polling scenario referencing real object names cannot be honestly constructed; typical usage would involve monitoring ARP table size/entries and attack-detection counters, based on the short description alone.
