Description: Netgear/Broadcom FastPath private MIB for system clock, timezone, and daylight saving time (summer-time) configuration.

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 FASTPATH-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-MIB?

FASTPATH-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-MIB is a NETGEAR (Broadcom FASTPATH-based) private enterprise MIB that manages system clock, timezone, and daylight-saving/summer-time settings on switches built on the Broadcom FASTPATH software stack. It exposes configuration objects for the source of the system time, the current summer-time (DST) state, the timezone's minute offset and acronym, and detailed recurring-rule settings for when summer time starts and ends (week, day, month, and time of day). Its role is primarily configuration/software-status monitoring: administrators can verify agentSystemTimeSource to confirm whether the switch is getting time from NTP or another source, and check agentSystemSummerTimeState to confirm the device has correctly transitioned in or out of daylight saving time, which matters for accurate log timestamps and scheduled events. It is a NETGEAR/Broadcom-specific private extension with no notable external MIB dependency beyond standard SNMPv2-SMI conventions. This MIB is deployed on NETGEAR-branded (and other Broadcom FASTPATH OEM) managed Ethernet switches in enterprise and SMB network environments, where FASTPATH-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-MIB SNMP monitoring helps confirm clock and DST settings stay correct across the fleet.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-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

NETGEAR / Broadcom FASTPATH-based managed Ethernet switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll agentSystemTimeSource and agentTimeZoneMinutesOffset to confirm the switch is synced to the correct time source and timezone, then check agentSystemSummerTimeState to verify whether DST is currently active as expected for the season. Reviewing agentStRecurringStartingWeek/Day/Month/Time and the corresponding ending values confirms the DST transition rule is configured correctly (e.g., second Sunday in March in the US). If agentSystemSummerTimeState fails to flip on the expected date, an operator would suspect a misconfigured recurring rule or a device clock that has drifted from NTP.

What Can Be Monitored

system time source
summer-time (DST) state
timezone offset and acronym
recurring DST start/end rule (week/day/month/time)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentSystemTimeSource OID:

Select a Broadcom FastPath-based Ethernet switch (multi-vendor OEM) (timezone/DST config) 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 agentSystemTimeSource into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The time source from which the time update is taken. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is anything other than 'sntp', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
