Description: Hirschmann multicast MIB for IP multicast routing and IGMP snooping management on Hirschmann devices.
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 HIRSCHMANN-MULTICAST-MIB?
HIRSCHMANN-MULTICAST-MIB is a Hirschmann Private Platform4 MIB covering IP multicast routing and IGMP snooping management on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches. It exposes configuration and status objects for multicast group membership tracking and snooping behavior at the switch level, part of Hirschmann's broader industrial networking platform MIB family. Its monitoring role is in verifying multicast forwarding software health: tracking snooped group membership and multicast-related state helps detect multicast traffic being flooded incorrectly or a group failing to register, which can degrade industrial control/automation traffic relying on multicast. It builds on top of the standard IETF IGMP-MIB/PIM-MIB concepts, adding Hirschmann's platform-specific management layer. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches used in factory automation, process control, and other industrial networks where multicast traffic (e.g., control/automation protocols) must be efficiently switched. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HIRSCHMANN-MULTICAST-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HIRSCHMANN-MULTICAST-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
- Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
No sample object names were supplied in the source for this module, so specific OIDs cannot be cited, but an administrator would typically poll per-VLAN or per-port IGMP snooping group membership tables to confirm multicast receivers are correctly registered. A group with no learned member ports despite active multicast senders would indicate snooping is not correctly tracking membership, risking either flooding or dropped multicast traffic on the industrial network.
What Can Be Monitored
- IGMP snooping group membership
- multicast routing status
- per-port/per-VLAN multicast state
