Description: Hirschmann HIQ feature licensing MIB for managing software feature licenses on Hirschmann HIQ switches.

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 HIQ-FEAT-LIC-MIB?

HIQ-FEAT-LIC-MIB is a Hirschmann proprietary MIB for managing software feature licenses across the HIQ, HiPath, and PS device families, controlling which optional features are unlocked on a given switch. It exposes license-related configuration and state data describing which features are licensed and their activation status, rather than traffic or environmental telemetry. Its monitoring relevance is purely software/licensing status — confirming that purchased features remain licensed and active, and flagging cases where a license has expired or a feature is running unlicensed — rather than hardware health metrics. It has no dependency on external IETF standards beyond general SNMP conventions, being an entirely vendor-private licensing scheme. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial/managed switches where administrators need to verify optional feature entitlements remain valid. Engineers can download the HIQ-FEAT-LIC-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HIQ-FEAT-LIC-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

Siemens Network Convergence LLC devices (hiQ8000/9200, HiPath, and PS switch families)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured for this module, so specific object names cannot be confirmed. In general, an administrator would expect to poll license-status objects to confirm a given feature license is active and check for any license expiration or violation condition before relying on an optional feature in production. Without the concrete schema, this should be treated as an inferred rather than verified monitoring workflow.

What Can Be Monitored

licensed feature status
license activation/expiration state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hiqFeatLicTrunkAverageUsage OID:

Select a Siemens Network Convergence device (HIQ/HiPath/PS feature licensing) 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 hiqFeatLicTrunkAverageUsage into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The average usage within one hour. License Manager will take snapshots of current usage counter every 5 minutes and get the average of the values during an hour. 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 Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hiqFeatLic	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5			This MIB describes the end-user licenses features for all devices (HIQ, HIPATH, PS).
hiqFeatLicTrunkSessionGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1			The SIP Trunking Session License Group.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkSessionLicenses	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.1	Integer32	read-only	The licenses assigned to the system. This object change only when installing new licensing files. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkAverageUsageEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.2	Integer32	read-only	The average usage within one hour. License Manager will take snapshots of current usage counter every 5 minutes and get the average of the values during an hour. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkMaxAverageUsage	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.3	Integer32	read-only	The maximum average usage within one hour, during a 24h period. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkCustomerViolations	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.4	Integer32	read-only	This object holds the number of Trunking Session usage violation detected. The License Manager detects violations based on the maximum 1h average usage. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkViolationLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.5	Integer32	read-only	This object holds the number of usage violations the system allows, before activating the enforcement. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
I32 hiqFeatLicTrunkWarnThresLic	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.1.6	Integer32	read-only	Warning Threshold for Trunking Session licensing. It controls the barrier over which the system generates warnings to notify administrator that usage is close to system's capacity. The parameter is valid in both ITU and ANSI variants.
hiqFeatDynamicLicenseGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2			The Dynamic License Group has read-only objects to identify the number of available Dynamic licenses, the number of licenses currently In Use, the maximum value of 'In Use' licenses during the previous 24 hours, the number of customer violations and the number of Licenses Rejections per DN per hour. Also it includes a read-write object that controls the barrier over which the system generates warnings to notify the administrator that usage is close to the system's capacity.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicAvailable	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.1	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This object represents the number of Dynamic licenses that are available in the system. It is calculated by the license manager using the formula: Purchased - In Use.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicInUse	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.2	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This object represents the number of Dynamic licenses currently in use in the system. There is One Home DN per Dynamic license. This value must be less or equal to the number of Dynamic licenses Purchased.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicMaxInUse	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.3	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This number represents the maximum usage of Dynamic licenses over the last 24 hour period.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicViolations	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.4	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This object is a counter holding the number of usage violations. License Manager detects Dynamic licensing violations based on the maximum usage. Therefore, system counts one violation per day maximum, regardless of how many times the actual usage exceeded the licensing limits during that day. If this number exceeds the violation limit, the system activates the license enforcement. The default violation limit is 10 and this number cannot be modified by the system Administrator.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicViolationsLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.5	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This is the number of usage violations the system allows,before activating the enforcement. This value cannot be modified by the system administrator
I32 hiqFeatLicDynamicRejections	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.6	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This object holds the number of License rejections per DN per hour due to Dynamic Session licensing. This counter is calculated using the formula: Rejections/number of DNs.
I32 hiqFeatLicDynWarningThreshold	1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.2.18.2.2.1.5.2.7	Integer32	read-only	-- Dynamic licensing not currently supported -- This object holds a system-wide RTP parameter that controls the barrier over which the system generates warnings to notify the administrator that usage is close to the system's capacity. The default value is 95. This means that when activated licenses are over the 95% of the assigned licenses, the system generates a warning. License Manager checks for changes of this parameter every 1h.
