Description: Huawei port mirroring MIB for configuring traffic observation sessions including local and remote port mirroring.

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-MIRROR-MIB?

HUAWEI-MIRROR-MIB is a Huawei enterprise MIB for configuring port mirroring (traffic observation) features on Huawei switches and routers, covering both local mirroring within a single device and remote mirroring across devices. It exposes tables for local observe ports, local port-mirroring sessions (mirror port, bearing/carrying interface, CPU packet flag, committed access rate for mirrored traffic), local flow-based mirroring, and remote mirroring configuration. Its monitoring value is configuration/software status: confirming that mirroring sessions are correctly enabled and bound to the intended source and destination ports, which is essential for verifying that traffic-analysis or intrusion-detection tools are actually receiving mirrored packets, rather than exposing hardware sensors. It relies on standard interface indexing concepts (likely via IF-MIB ifIndex) to identify mirrored and observing ports. It is typically deployed on Huawei enterprise or carrier switches/routers wherever traffic capture for monitoring, troubleshooting, or security analysis is required. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-MIRROR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-MIRROR-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 switch/router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hwLocalPortMirrorTable to confirm hwLocalMirrorPort and hwLocalObservePort are correctly paired, and check hwLocalPortMirrorRowStatus to ensure the session is active. The hwLocalPortMirrorCar setting shows whether a rate limit is being applied to mirrored traffic, which if too low could cause an analysis tool to miss packets. An observe port receiving no traffic despite an active row status would suggest a cabling or session-binding fault.

What Can Be Monitored

local mirroring session status
mirror source/destination port binding
mirrored traffic rate limit (CAR)
remote mirroring configuration
CPU packet mirroring flag
