Description: HPN-ICF-RPR-MIB module

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-RPR-MIB?

This MIB manages Resilient Packet Ring (RPR, IEEE 802.17) interfaces on HP/Comware devices, providing an operational table that controls per-interface parameters and reports alarm conditions for the two counter-rotating fiber rings (Outer and Inner) that make up an RPR topology. It belongs to the HP/H3C ICF family and focuses on the physical/link-layer configuration and fault state of ring-based metro network interfaces. Its monitoring value is centered on hardware/link fault detection: because RPR's dual-ring design is meant to survive a single fiber break by wrapping traffic onto the surviving ring, monitoring per-ring alarm status here is critical for confirming that a break has been detected and traffic has failed over correctly rather than silently dropped. It is based on the IEEE 802.17 RPR standard, giving HP/Comware-specific management objects for a standards-defined ring technology. It is deployed on HP/Comware devices used in metro-area or campus ring topologies requiring sub-50ms fiber-cut protection. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HPN-ICF-RPR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-RPR-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/switch with RPR ring interfaces

Monitoring Examples

No specific sample object names were provided for this MIB beyond its module description, so an object-level polling scenario cannot be precisely grounded; conceptually an operator would monitor per-ring (Outer/Inner) operational and alarm status to confirm the RPR ring has not experienced an unprotected fiber break, and check interface parameter settings against the ring's designed configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RPR interface operational status
  • ring alarm conditions
  • outer/inner ring status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfRprSrcMacCountReceivedFrames OID:

Select a HP/Comware router/switch with RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) interface 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 hpnicfRprSrcMacCountReceivedFrames 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. Frames received from a particular MAC address of source station. 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 Counter64-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.
