Description: Manages IP multicast routing protocols (PIM, MSDP) and multicast routing table on HP/Comware routers.
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-MULTICAST-MIB?
The HPN-ICF-MULTICAST-MIB is a proprietary HP Networking (Comware-based, ICF architecture) MIB used to manage global IP multicast routing configuration, covering protocols such as PIM and MSDP and the multicast routing table on HP switches and routers. It exposes configuration-oriented data for enabling and tuning multicast routing behavior across a device, complementing the multicast forwarding data covered by standard MIBs. Its monitoring value is chiefly about the operational status and configuration correctness of the multicast control plane (e.g. whether PIM/MSDP is enabled and functioning) rather than hardware environmental data like temperature or power. It likely depends on or complements the standard IP Multicast MIB (IPMROUTE-STD-MIB / PIM-MIB) for full route-table detail. It is typically deployed on HP/Comware-based enterprise or campus routers and Layer 3 switches running multicast applications such as IPTV or financial market data distribution. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-MULTICAST-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-MULTICAST-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 Networking / Comware-based switch or router
Monitoring Examples
Because no concrete objects were provided in the sample set, a typical monitoring scenario would involve polling global multicast enable/status objects and PIM/MSDP protocol configuration entries to confirm multicast routing is active and correctly configured, and checking the multicast routing table for expected (S,G) or (*,G) entries; an admin would use this to detect misconfigured or disabled multicast routing causing multicast traffic loss.
What Can Be Monitored
- PIM protocol status
- MSDP session status
- multicast routing table entries
- global multicast configuration state
