Description: Manages Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) instance configuration and port roles 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.

What Is HPN-ICF-LswMSTP-MIB?

HPN-ICF-LswMSTP-MIB is an HP/Comware ICF MIB for managing Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) instances and port roles on Layer 2 switches. MSTP maps VLANs to spanning-tree instances to provide loop-free redundant Layer 2 topologies, so this MIB's data centers on per-instance and per-port spanning-tree state such as port role (root, designated, alternate, backup) and instance-to-VLAN mapping. Its monitoring value is topology/software-state health: administrators use it to confirm the spanning tree has converged correctly, identify ports stuck in blocking or discarding state unexpectedly, and detect topology changes that could indicate a flapping link or an unintended loop. It is a vendor extension of the same conceptual model as the IEEE 802.1s MSTP standard and the IETF BRIDGE-MIB/P-BRIDGE-MIB family. It is deployed on HP/H3C Comware switches in campus and data-center Layer 2 networks using multiple spanning-tree instances. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-LswMSTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-LswMSTP-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 Layer 2 switch

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were included in the source excerpt (module description and sample objects were both empty), so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real identifiers here. In general use, an administrator would check per-instance port role and state to confirm the expected root bridge and topology, watching for unexpected topology-change counts that indicate link flapping or a new loop in the Layer 2 network.

What Can Be Monitored

per-instance port role
spanning tree port state
VLAN-to-instance mapping
topology change count

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfdot1sMstiStpRXStpBPDU OID:

Select an HP/H3C Comware Layer 2 switch (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) 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 hpnicfdot1sMstiStpRXStpBPDU 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 number of received Config BPDU. Effective in CIST. 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 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.
