Description: Huawei SSH (Secure Shell) MIB for managing SSH server configuration, session limits, algorithm negotiation, and active connections.

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-SSH-MIB?

HUAWEI-SSH-MIB is a Huawei enterprise MIB for managing the Secure Shell (SSH) server and client functionality on Huawei network devices. It exposes configuration objects covering SSH server enablement, session/connection limits, supported cryptographic algorithm negotiation, and a table of currently active SSH sessions. Its monitoring value centers on software/service status: it lets an administrator confirm the SSH service is enabled and healthy, see how many active management sessions exist against configured limits, and audit which algorithms are negotiated, which is useful for both operational health and security-compliance checks. It is a Huawei-specific module that parallels concepts in the IETF SSH protocol standards (RFC 4251 et al.) but is implemented independently as part of Huawei's device-management MIB family. It is deployed on Huawei routers and switches wherever SSH is used for secure remote CLI management. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-SSH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-SSH-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 router
  • Huawei switch

Monitoring Examples

A realistic scenario involves polling an active-SSH-session table for connected-user count and per-session source address, comparable in spirit to hwSshSessionTable/Entry objects, alongside a scalar for the configured maximum session limit. An administrator would monitor active session count against the configured limit to catch either an unexpectedly high number of concurrent management sessions (possible unauthorized access) or a device rejecting new SSH connections because the limit was reached.

What Can Be Monitored

  • SSH server enabled status
  • active SSH session count
  • session/connection limits
  • negotiated algorithms
  • per-session connection details
