HPN-ICF-OSPF-MIB

Description: Manages OSPF area, interface, neighbor, and route parameters extending RFC 1850 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.

HPN-ICF-OSPF-MIB is an HP/H3C "ICF" enterprise MIB module that extends standard OSPF management (building on RFC 1850's OSPF-MIB) for HP Comware-based routers and switches. It exposes OSPF area, network/interface, neighbor adjacency, and route-related configuration and status objects, letting operators see how OSPF is configured and behaving on a per-process, per-area basis. Its monitoring value is centered on routing-protocol health and software-level status — confirming OSPF network associations and area assignments are correct and that neighbor adjacencies are forming as expected, reflecting the operational state of the routing software rather than physical hardware. It explicitly depends on and extends the standard IETF OSPF-MIB (RFC 1850), adding HP/Comware-specific enterprise objects alongside the standard ones. It is deployed on HP/H3C Comware-based routers and Layer 3 switches running OSPF in enterprise or service-provider networks, where HPN-ICF-OSPF-MIB SNMP monitoring verifies area assignments and neighbor adjacency health.

An administrator would poll hpnicfOspfNetworkTable/hpnicfOspfNetworkEntry (indexed by hpnicfOspfProcessId and hpnicfOspfAreaId) to confirm that hpnicfOspfNetworkIpAddr and hpnicfOspfNetworkIpMask correctly associate a given network with the intended OSPF area. A network entry missing or assigned to the wrong hpnicfOspfAreaId would explain why an interface isn't forming OSPF neighbor adjacencies as expected.
