Description: Manages and extends TCP connection statistics and configuration for HP networking 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 HPTCP-MIB?

HPTCP-MIB is an HP (Hewlett-Packard) proprietary MIB that extends standard TCP protocol monitoring and configuration for HP networking devices, supplementing the generic IETF TCP-MIB with HP-specific TCP traffic objects. No specific object names were provided in the source data for this batch, but per its module description it focuses on TCP connection statistics and configuration rather than physical hardware sensors. Its monitoring value would be software/protocol-layer status: extended TCP connection counts, retransmission behavior, or connection-table details beyond what the standard TCP-MIB exposes, useful for diagnosing management-plane connectivity issues on the device itself. It explicitly extends/depends on the standard IETF TCP-MIB (RFC 4022 and predecessors), reusing its indexing conventions while adding HP-specific detail. It is deployed on HP networking equipment (switches, routers) wherever detailed TCP-layer diagnostics of the device's own management sessions are needed. Engineers can download the HPTCP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPTCP-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 networking switch/router

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were supplied for this module, so specific OIDs cannot be confirmed from the source data; in general, an HP TCP extension MIB of this kind would be polled alongside the standard tcpConnTable to get additional per-connection or aggregate TCP statistics specific to HP's stack, helping diagnose issues like exhausted TCP connection slots on the device's own management interface. Only this general pattern can be described honestly without inventing specific object names.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpTcpOutRstsWithAck OID:

Select an HP networking switch/router (extended TCP-layer diagnostics) 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 hpTcpOutRstsWithAck into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of TCP packets sent containing the RST and the ACK flags. 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.
