Description: Huawei error-down MIB providing objects to configure automatic interface shutdown upon detection of excessive error conditions or threshold crossings.
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 HUAWEI-ERRORDOWN-MIB?
HUAWEI-ERRORDOWN-MIB is a Huawei switching/routing MIB that manages the ERROR-DOWN feature, an automatic protection mechanism that shuts down an interface when it detects excessive error conditions or crosses configured error thresholds. It exposes configuration objects (thresholds, enable/disable state, recovery timers) and running-state objects reporting which interfaces have been placed into error-down state and why. This is fundamentally a fault/status-monitoring MIB for interface hardware health: it lets an administrator see, in real time, which ports have been automatically disabled due to errors and whether auto-recovery has occurred. It complements the standard IF-MIB, since error-down state is applied on top of a standard interface's operational status. It is typically deployed on Huawei enterprise and data-center switches to protect the network from misbehaving or faulty links without requiring manual intervention. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-ERRORDOWN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-ERRORDOWN-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
- Huawei enterprise switches
- Huawei data-center switches
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the error-down running-state objects to see which interfaces are currently in error-down state and cross-reference the corresponding standard ifOperStatus, which would show down for those ports. If a distribution switch's uplink repeatedly triggers error-down due to a threshold-crossing alarm, that recurring pattern would point to a bad cable, transceiver, or a duplex mismatch upstream. No concrete object names were available in the source data for this MIB, so this reflects the expected monitoring workflow for the ERROR-DOWN feature rather than confirmed table names.
What Can Be Monitored
- interfaces in error-down state
- error-down trigger reason/threshold
- error-down auto-recovery timer
- error-down feature enable/disable configuration
