Description: Hirschmann HiOS (HM2) advanced 802.1X MIB for enhanced port-based network access control 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 HM2-PLATFORM-DOT1X-ADVANCED-MIB?

HM2-PLATFORM-DOT1X-ADVANCED-MIB is a Hirschmann HiOS (Platform2/HM2) proprietary SNMP module that extends standard 802.1X port-based network access control with enhanced/advanced configuration capabilities on Hirschmann industrial network devices. Structurally it is defined at the level of a single conformance/enhancement group (hm2AgentDot1xEnhancementConfigGroup) rather than a rich set of runtime tables, indicating it is largely a configuration-capability module for advanced 802.1X features. Because no other objects were supplied and the module is framed around a configuration group rather than counters or fault tables, it primarily concerns software feature configuration rather than hardware health, uptime, or environmental status; any monitoring value would come from confirming whether advanced 802.1X enhancements are enabled and configured as intended. It builds on and extends the standard IEEE 802.1X model, layering Hirschmann-specific enhancements on top of the base port-access-control framework used across the industry. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches used in factory-automation and critical-infrastructure networks where port-based authentication needs vendor-specific tuning. Engineers can download the HM2-PLATFORM-DOT1X-ADVANCED-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HM2-PLATFORM-DOT1X-ADVANCED-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 (HiOS/Platform2)

Monitoring Examples

With only a single conformance group (hm2AgentDot1xEnhancementConfigGroup) listed and no data tables, this module is best treated as a capability/configuration group definition rather than a source of runtime monitoring data; an operator would use it mainly to confirm that the advanced 802.1X enhancement feature set is present and enabled on the device rather than to poll operational counters.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hm2AgentDot1xAuthHistoryResultAge OID:

Select a Hirschmann HiOS/Platform2 industrial switch (advanced 802.1X) 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 hm2AgentDot1xAuthHistoryResultAge into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the time since the authentication entry was added to the history table. 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 TimeTicks-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is unexpectedly low (e.g. under 10 minutes), since that indicates a recent, possibly unplanned, reboot or restart. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
