What Is HPN-ICF-NET-MAN-MIB?

HPN-ICF-NET-MAN-MIB is an HP/H3C Comware (ICF) enterprise MIB that provides network management identification objects, particularly for devices operating in dynamic address assignment environments such as DHCP. It exposes configuration objects like the device's management IP address/type and build/serial identification, along with monitor and notification groupings. Administrators use it primarily to track a device's current identity and software build information so it can be reliably located and inventoried even when its IP address changes dynamically, serving a software/asset-tracking monitoring role rather than deep performance metrics. It is part of HP's broader ICF (Intelligent Configuration Framework) MIB family and complements standard network management identification practices. It is typically deployed on HP/H3C Comware switches and routers in networks using DHCP-assigned management addresses. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-NET-MAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-NET-MAN-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 switch or router

Monitoring Examples

An NMS would poll hpnicfNMIpAddress and hpnicfNMIpAddressType to discover a device's current management address after a DHCP renewal, then cross-check hpnicfNMSerialNum and hpnicfNMCustomBuildInfo to confirm device identity and firmware build haven't unexpectedly changed. The hpnicfNMNotify family of objects can be used to receive notifications when the device's management address changes, letting the NMS automatically update its inventory rather than losing contact with the device.

What Can Be Monitored

IPt hpnicfNMIpAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.90.3.1.1	InetAddressType	accessible-for-notify	The IP address type of specified interface on the device.

NTF hpnicfIpAddrChangeNotify	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.90.3.2.0.1			This notification will be generated when the IP address of active management interface is changed. The change maybe originate from NMS, DHCP server or administrator. The management interfaces are the interfaces that assigned by administrator, which can be used to manage device, but may be inactive for link fault or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) missing. The active management interface means an active interface, the IP address of which can be used for network management. This notification announces useful management IP address change. So it is triggered by significative IP address change. Suppose that two management interfaces on a device, Interface-A and Interface-B. Initially both interfaces are down and assigned no IP address. Configure Interface-A as the primary monitored interface, Interface-B as the secondary. Significative IP address change in following cases: 1. If Interface-A is assigned an IP address primarily, and it is linking up, then Interface-B will be ignored. A notification will be triggered, appending IP address of Interface-A. 2. If Interface-B is assigned an IP address primarily, and it is linking up, then Interface-A will be ignored. A notification will be triggered, appending IP address of Interface-B. 3. If IP address of that interface, which had its IP address announced to NMS, is changed since last notification triggered, then another notification will be sent to NMS. 4. Suppore that Interface-A was linked up and assigned an IP address primarily. If for some unknown reason, Interface-A is down or loses IP address, and Interface-B is assigned an IP address which is different with that announced to NMS before, then a notification will be triggered, appending the new IP address that Interface-B assigned. 5. A notification appending new IP address that Interface-A assigned will be triggered, if 4 occurs to Interface-B.
