Description: Huawei security global IP CAR (Committed Access Rate) MIB for per-IP bandwidth policing and rate limiting management.
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-SECURITY-GLOBALIPCAR-MIB?
HUAWEI-SECURITY-GLOBALIPCAR-MIB is a Huawei-proprietary security module for the Global IP CAR (Committed Access Rate) feature on the Eudemon and USG firewall product series. It exposes per-IP rate-limiting policy configuration along with traffic statistics counting packets and bytes passed versus dropped for each policed IP address. Its monitoring value is largely performance/software status: pass and drop counters reveal whether the CAR policy is actively throttling a given source, which is a key signal during suspected denial-of-service or bandwidth-abuse conditions. It works alongside other Huawei security modules such as HUAWEI-SECURITY-FULLCONE-MIB and HUAWEI-SECURITY-IPSEC-MIB as part of the same firewall's security instrumentation. It is typically deployed on Eudemon/USG firewalls at the network edge to police per-source bandwidth and mitigate abusive or attacking hosts. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-SECURITY-GLOBALIPCAR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-SECURITY-GLOBALIPCAR-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 Eudemon firewalls
- Huawei USG firewalls
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll per-IP CAR statistics (an hwGlobalIpCarStatTable/hwGlobalIpCarStatEntry pattern) for passed and dropped packet/byte counts against the configured committed rate. A sudden spike in dropped packets for a specific source IP indicates that IP has exceeded its policed rate, often correlating with a DoS attempt or a misbehaving application. Comparing pass/drop ratios across policies helps tune CAR thresholds that are too aggressive for legitimate bursty traffic.
What Can Be Monitored
- per-IP CAR policy configuration
- passed packet/byte counters
- dropped packet/byte counters
- rate-limit threshold utilization
