What Is HUAWEI-CPU-MIB?
HUAWEI-CPU-MIB is Huawei's proprietary MIB for monitoring processor utilization across a device's main and forwarding-plane processor modules. It exposes CPU load statistics—typically current, average, and peak utilization percentages per processor/board—along with configurable utilization thresholds used to trigger alarms. This is squarely a hardware/software health-monitoring MIB: it is the primary means of detecting CPU overload conditions (a main processor pegged at high utilization due to a routing convergence storm, or a forwarding processor saturated by traffic) that can precede performance degradation or device unresponsiveness, and threshold-crossing traps give proactive warning before a full outage. It is a device-specific analog to the more generic HOST-RESOURCES-MIB's hrProcessorLoad, but with Huawei's multi-processor/board-aware structure. It is deployed universally across Huawei routers and switches wherever an NMS needs granular per-board CPU health visibility, standard practice in carrier and enterprise network monitoring. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-CPU-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-CPU-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- current CPU utilization (per board/processor)
- average/peak CPU utilization
- CPU utilization threshold configuration
- CPU threshold-crossing alarms
Supported Devices
- Huawei routers and switches
Monitoring Examples
An NMS periodically polls each board's current CPU utilization object to build a load trend and compares it against a configured high-utilization threshold; a sustained reading near 100% on the main control processor would indicate the device is CPU-bound, potentially from excessive routing updates or a management-plane attack, while a similar spike on a forwarding processor would suggest a traffic-driven overload. Threshold-crossing traps configured on this MIB let the NMS alert on CPU exhaustion in near real time rather than only during periodic polling.

| hwCpuDevTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4 | not-accessible | This table provides the information of CPU usage statistics of device in the period of last 5 seconds, 1 minute,or 5 minutes. | |
| hwCpuDevEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4.1 | not-accessible | The Entries of hwCpuDevTable. The hwCpuDevTable is indexed by hwFrameIndex, hwSlotIndex and hwCpuDevIndex. hwFrameIndex - the index of frame of the device. for example, hwFrameIndex equals 0 in NE16. hwSlotIndex - the slot number of the device, the MAX value varies with different devices. hwCpuDevIndex - for the purpose of extension.In single CPU devices (NE16,eg.), hwCpuDevIndex equals 0. | |
| I32 hwCpuDevIndex | 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.4.1.1 | Integer32 | not-accessible | The object is used only for the purpose of extension. For single-CPU devices, the value of this object equals 0. |
