Description: Huawei LAN switch RSTP MIB for managing Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol port roles, states, and topology change events 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-LswRSTP-MIB?

HUAWEI-LswRSTP-MIB is a Huawei LAN switch MIB for managing Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on Huawei switches, exposing per-port role and state information along with topology-change event data. It provides visibility into which ports are root, designated, alternate, or backup, their forwarding/blocking/discarding state, and counts or notifications of topology change events across the switched network. For monitoring, this is primarily a software/protocol health indicator: frequent topology changes or a port unexpectedly transitioning roles can reveal a flapping link, a loop, or a misconfigured redundant path in the Layer 2 topology, while it does not directly expose hardware sensor data. It implements the IEEE 802.1w/802.1D RSTP standard with Huawei-specific extensions layered on top. It is deployed on Huawei LAN switches in enterprise and campus networks that rely on spanning tree for loop prevention and redundant-path failover. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-LswRSTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-LswRSTP-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 LAN switches (Quidway/S-series, RSTP-capable)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided, but a realistic scenario would involve polling per-port RSTP role and state objects to confirm the expected root/designated port assignment, and monitoring the topology-change counter for unexpected increments. A rapidly increasing topology-change count would reveal a flapping uplink or a redundant link repeatedly failing over.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port RSTP role
  • port forwarding/blocking state
  • topology change count/events
  • root bridge information

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwdot1dStpRXStpBPDU OID:

Select a Huawei enterprise LAN switch 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 hwdot1dStpRXStpBPDU 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. It reports the number of STP BPDU received. 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.
