Description: Manages Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) port parameters and topology change notifications 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-LswRSTP-MIB?

HPN-ICF-LswRSTP-MIB is an HP Networking (Comware/H3C) vendor MIB for managing Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) parameters and topology-change events on the switch's Layer 2 switching (Lsw) subsystem. Although no module description or sample objects were provided in the source data for this particular entry, based on its name and vendor family it would be expected to expose per-port RSTP role/state information and topology-change notifications analogous to the standard Bridge MIB's spanning-tree extensions. As a spanning-tree MIB its core monitoring value would be in tracking port roles/states (root, designated, blocking, forwarding) and topology-change counts to catch loops, flapping links, or unstable Layer 2 topology, though these specific object names cannot be confirmed without the underlying MIB source. It would logically extend or complement the standard IEEE 802.1D/802.1w Bridge MIB (BRIDGE-MIB) rather than replace it. It would be deployed on HP/H3C Comware Layer 2 switches participating in a spanning-tree topology. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-LswRSTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-LswRSTP-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 module description or sample objects were provided for this MIB in the source data, so a concrete monitoring scenario referencing real object names cannot be given honestly; any such detail would have to be confirmed directly against the MIB source before being used operationally.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfdot1dStpRXStpBPDU OID:

Select an HP/H3C Comware Layer 2 switch (Rapid 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 hpnicfdot1dStpRXStpBPDU 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. It reports the number of STP BPDU received. 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.
