Description: Manages time synchronization and NTP configuration on the Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway.
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 CISCO-DMN-DSG-TIME-MIB?
CISCO-DMN-DSG-TIME-MIB is a Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway MIB covering the device's time synchronization and display configuration, including time/date format and GMT offset, along with the current system time. It is a small configuration/status MIB rather than a performance-counter one. Its monitoring value is chiefly software-status related: polling timeCurrent lets an operator confirm the gateway's clock is correct and progressing normally, which matters because accurate timestamps underpin scheduling, logging, and stream metadata elsewhere in the device. It has an implicit dependency on NTP or another external time source that feeds the device's clock, though that source is outside this MIB's scope. It is used in broadcast/cable headend deployments to verify system time correctness across a fleet of gateways, particularly before scheduled content or configuration changes. Engineers can download the CISCO-DMN-DSG-TIME-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DMN-DSG-TIME-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
- Cisco DMN D9800 digital satellite gateway
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll timeCurrent under timeInfo periodically to confirm the gateway's clock is advancing correctly and matches expected wall-clock time, and check timeGMTOffset and timeFormat/timeDateFormat to ensure the device is configured for the correct time zone and display convention. A timeCurrent value that has drifted significantly from NTP-synced reference time would indicate a clock synchronization failure on that gateway. This check is typically run across a fleet before time-sensitive scheduled operations.
What Can Be Monitored
- current system time
- time format
- date format
- GMT offset
