Category: Network Monitoring (RMON), Vendor: H3C/HH3C, Vendor: HP/HPE
Description: Handles switch-level RMON monitoring groups and port mirroring (SMON) on HP/Comware Layer 2 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-LswSMON-MIB?
This MIB extends switch-level RMON monitoring and port mirroring (SMON, Switch Monitoring) capabilities on HP/Comware Layer 2 switches, complementing the standard RMON framework with VLAN-aware statistics. It belongs to the HP/H3C "Lsw" family and covers VLAN-level traffic statistics collection alongside vendor-specific SMON extensions. Its monitoring value is centered on traffic visibility: hpnicfdot1qVlanStatNumber lets an operator track how many VLANs have RMON statistics collection active, giving insight into whether traffic monitoring/mirroring configuration is behaving as expected across VLANs. It explicitly extends the IETF standard RMON MIB (RFC 2819) and the 802.1Q VLAN-aware bridging model, layering HP-specific objects (hpnicfSmonExtend) on top of the standard SMON MIB (RFC 2613). It is deployed on HP/Comware switches used for traffic analysis, port mirroring, and network troubleshooting via RMON probes. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-LswSMON-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-LswSMON-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
An operator would check hpnicfdot1qVlanStatNumber to confirm the expected number of VLANs currently have RMON statistics collection enabled, cross-referencing against the VLANs intended for monitoring. The hpnicfSmonExtend / hpnicfsmonExtendObject objects provide HP-specific extensions layered on top of standard SMON, useful when standard RMON2 objects alone don't capture a vendor-specific mirroring detail an administrator needs for diagnosing a suspected mirrored-port traffic-analysis mismatch.
What Can Be Monitored
- number of VLANs with RMON statistics enabled
- SMON extension configuration/status
