Description: Huawei LAN switch MSTP MIB for managing Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol instances, port states, and region configuration on Huawei switches.

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-LswMSTP-MIB?

HUAWEI-LswMSTP-MIB is a Huawei enterprise MIB for its LAN switch (Lsw) product line, covering Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) management of spanning-tree instances, port states, and MST region configuration. It exposes MSTP configuration objects such as region name/revision and instance-to-VLAN mapping, along with per-port and per-instance spanning-tree state including root/designated port roles and forwarding/blocking states. It is used to monitor Layer-2 network topology health at the software/protocol level — spanning-tree port states and instance status — helping detect topology changes, blocked ports, or misconfigured MST regions that can cause loops or connectivity loss, rather than any physical hardware condition. It implements the IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol standard, so it parallels the concepts of standard spanning-tree MIB objects while adding Huawei-specific management. It is deployed on Huawei enterprise/campus LAN switches to manage and monitor loop-prevention topology across multiple VLANs and MST instances. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-LswMSTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-LswMSTP-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/campus LAN switches

Monitoring Examples

No object or table names were included in the source excerpt, so a concrete polling example can't be grounded in real identifiers. Based on the short description, an admin would typically poll per-port MSTP state and MST region/instance configuration tables to detect ports stuck in blocking state or a region-configuration mismatch causing a spanning-tree topology change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • MSTP port state
  • spanning tree instance status
  • MST region configuration
  • instance-to-VLAN mapping

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwdot1sMstiStpRXStpBPDU OID:

Select a Huawei enterprise/campus LAN switch (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) 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 hwdot1sMstiStpRXStpBPDU 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. The number of received Config BPDU. Effective in CIST. 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.
