Description: Extends Power over Ethernet (PoE) management with HP/Comware-specific per-port power budget and class objects.

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-POWER-ETH-EXT-MIB?

HPN-ICF-POWER-ETH-EXT-MIB is an HP/H3C ICF (Comware) enterprise MIB that extends standard Power over Ethernet management with vendor-specific per-port power-budget and PoE power-class objects, for Comware-based switches. It belongs to the PoE/Ethernet-power-management technology area, layering additional detail on top of the standard IETF POWER-ETHERNET-MIB. Its value in hardware status monitoring is direct: it lets an operator track how much power budget is allocated to each port, how much power is actually being drawn, and the negotiated PoE class of the connected powered device, which together reveal PoE controller capacity issues or an overloaded power budget. It explicitly extends the standard POWER-ETHERNET-MIB rather than replacing it. It is typically deployed on HP/H3C Comware access switches delivering PoE to IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-POWER-ETH-EXT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-POWER-ETH-EXT-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-based Ethernet switch with PoE ports

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were supplied for this module, so specific table or object names cannot be confirmed; consistent with its stated purpose, an operator would poll a per-port power-budget/consumption extension table to detect a port nearing its configured power budget, or check a port's negotiated PoE class to confirm the correct power allocation for a connected device, though the exact object names are not verifiable from the given data.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-port PoE power budget
  • per-port PoE power draw/allocation
  • PoE power class per port
