Description: Manages network services (NS) including service registration and lookup for HP/Comware cluster management.

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-NS-MIB?

This MIB, per its actual MODULE-IDENTITY description, manages network traffic statistics classification and export on HP/Comware devices, classifying IP packets by source/destination address, port, protocol, ToS, and input interface, then counting octets/packets and forwarding the results to a designated statistics collector. It belongs to the HP/H3C ICF family and exposes flow-classification configuration alongside traffic-volume counters, functioning similarly to a lightweight flow-export mechanism. Its monitoring value is substantial for software/traffic visibility: an operator can track per-flow-class packet and octet counts to detect traffic anomalies, bandwidth hogs, or unexpected protocol/ToS mixes on a given interface, and verify that statistics are actually being exported to the configured collector. It has no formal dependency on IETF standard MIBs, though the flow-classification model (5-tuple plus ToS) parallels IPFIX/NetFlow concepts. It is deployed on HP/Comware routers and switches used for traffic accounting, capacity planning, or billing-oriented flow export. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-NS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-NS-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/Comware router
HP/Comware switch

Monitoring Examples

No concrete sample object names were provided for this MIB, so a specific object-level polling scenario cannot be constructed; conceptually an operator would monitor per-flow-class packet/octet counters (classified by source/destination IP, port, protocol, ToS, and interface) and confirm successful export to the configured statistics collector.

What Can Be Monitored

classified traffic packet counts
classified traffic octet counts
traffic classification by source/destination IP, port, protocol, ToS
statistics export/collector status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfNSExportStream OID:

Select a HP/Comware router or switch (network traffic statistics classification/export) 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 hpnicfNSExportStream 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. This object counts the exported streams. 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.
