Description: Hirschmann HiOS (HM2) firmware MIB for firmware version management and software update control.

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 HM2-FW-MIB?

HM2-FW-MIB is a Hirschmann Automation and Control proprietary MIB (Platform2/HM2 family) providing an SNMP interface to Hirschmann's built-in firewall modules. It exposes the maximum number of dynamic and Layer 3 firewall rules supported, actions to reset statistics or flush connection-tracking tables, the default policy (permit/deny), a checksum-validation toggle, trap notifications when a rule is applied (optionally with logging), and a running count of rule matches. As a configuration/security-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm the firewall's default policy and watch rule-match counts to verify traffic is being filtered as expected. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial switches with the built-in firewall feature. Engineers can download the HM2-FW-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HM2-FW-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 switches (Platform2/HM2 firewall)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator monitors hm2DynFwRuleCount for an unexpected spike, then subscribes to hm2DynFwRuleAppliedAndLoggedTrap to see exactly which rule and traffic pattern is triggering it.

What Can Be Monitored

  • firewall default policy
  • rule-match counts and rule-applied traps

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hm2DynFwStatsTtPck OID:

Select a Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switch (built-in firewall module) 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 hm2DynFwStatsTtPck into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of packets processed by the dynamic firewall. 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 a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
