Description: Manages system-level parameters including device identity, uptime, and resource thresholds on HP/Comware devices.

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-SYS-MAN-MIB?

HPN-ICF-SYS-MAN-MIB is a proprietary system-management module for HP/H3C Comware-based switches and routers (the "hpnicf" prefix denotes HP Networking's ICF/Comware line, developed jointly with H3C). It exposes system-identity and clock data, including local clock settings, summer/daylight-saving time configuration, and a table linking each physical entity to its currently active configuration and boot image files. Administrators use it to monitor hardware and software status such as the device's real-time clock state, which configuration file and software image a chassis or board is actually running, and whether daylight-saving adjustments were applied correctly, catching a unit that reloaded with an unintended image. It builds on the ENTITY-MIB's physical-index scheme (hpnicfSysCurEntPhysicalIndex) to tie configuration data to specific hardware slots. It is typically deployed in enterprise campus/data-center networks running HP A-Series or H3C Comware switches where NMS tools track firmware compliance and time synchronization. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-SYS-MAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-SYS-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 switches and routers
  • HP Networking ICF-based network devices

Monitoring Examples

An admin polls hpnicfSysCurTable (via hpnicfSysCurEntPhysicalIndex and hpnicfSysCurCFGFileIndex) to confirm which configuration file each chassis or blade is currently booted with, flagging mismatches after a firmware rollout. hpnicfSysLocalClock and hpnicfSysLocalClockString are read to verify the device's real-time clock matches NTP, while hpnicfSysSummerTimeEnable/hpnicfSysSummerTimeStart/hpnicfSysSummerTimeEnd confirm daylight-saving rules are correctly scheduled. A drift or mismatch in these objects signals a device that failed to sync time or reload the intended image.

What Can Be Monitored

  • current configuration file per physical entity
  • current boot image
  • system local clock/time
  • daylight-saving time schedule and offset
  • per-slot configuration index
