Description: A Hirschmann vendor MIB covering Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) configuration on Hirschmann routing 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 HIRSCHMANN-PIM-MIB?

HIRSCHMANN-PIM-MIB is a Hirschmann private-enterprise MIB (Platform4) for configuring and monitoring Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) routing on Hirschmann industrial routing switches. It exposes a per-interface PIM table (hmPIMInterfaceTable) covering interface address, netmask, operating mode, hello and join/prune intervals, designated router (DR) status, and candidate bootstrap-router preference, plus a global join-prune interval and PIM traps. This is primarily a routing-protocol configuration and operational-status MIB: it lets an administrator confirm PIM is correctly enabled per interface, identify which router has won DR election, and verify hello/join-prune timers match the rest of the multicast domain, with hmPIMTraps providing fault/event notifications for PIM-related issues. It builds directly on standard PIM concepts (DR election, join/prune signaling, bootstrap router) analogous to the IETF PIM-MIB, though implemented as a vendor-private tree. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches/routers used in multicast-enabled automation and rail/utility network backbones. Engineers can download the HIRSCHMANN-PIM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HIRSCHMANN-PIM-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/router

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hmPIMInterfaceTable entries, checking hmPIMInterfaceDR to confirm which device holds the designated-router role on a given segment and comparing hmPIMInterfaceHelloInterval and hmPIMInterfaceJoinPruneInterval against neighboring routers to catch a timer mismatch that could cause adjacency flapping. hmPIMInterfaceStatus going down on an interface expected to run PIM would indicate multicast routing has been disabled or failed on that link, and hmPIMTraps would notify the NOC of such a change in real time.

What Can Be Monitored

  • PIM interface enable/mode status
  • designated router (DR) identity
  • hello interval
  • join/prune interval
  • candidate bootstrap-router preference
  • PIM fault/event traps
