HPN-ICF-LswMAM-MIB

Description: Manages MAC address table entries, static MAC bindings, and MAC learning limits on HP/Comware 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 MAC address table on HP/Comware switches, covering dynamic MAC learning, static MAC bindings, and per-port/per-VLAN MAC learning limits. It belongs to the HP/H3C "Lsw" MIB family covering Layer 2 forwarding-plane state and configuration. Its monitoring value is in the software state of the switch's forwarding table: tracking MAC table utilization, learned-address counts, and whether a port has hit its configured MAC-limit (which would start dropping new source addresses) helps an operator detect MAC-flooding attacks or table exhaustion before they degrade forwarding. It is a proprietary HP/H3C module conceptually parallel to (but not derived from) the IETF standard BRIDGE-MIB's forwarding database table. It is deployed on HP/Comware Layer 2 switches wherever MAC-table capacity and static-binding security policy need operational visibility, usually starting from an HPN-ICF-LswMAM-MIB download used to load its object definitions into a 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 MAC table entry counts and per-port learning limits, based on the short description alone.

Manages MAC address learning and filtering tables on HP switches with VLAN support and blackhole configuration.
