Description: Hirschmann HiOS (HM2) QoS Class of Service (CoS) MIB for 802.1p priority mapping and queue 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-QOS-COS-MIB?

HM2-PLATFORM-QOS-COS-MIB is a Hirschmann proprietary MIB, part of the HiOS "HM2 Platform2" MIB family, that manages Class of Service (CoS) Quality of Service functionality, specifically 802.1p priority-to-queue mapping and egress queue configuration on Hirschmann industrial switches. Its scope is primarily configuration-oriented, letting administrators define how incoming traffic priority tags are mapped to internal hardware transmit queues. It provides limited direct hardware/software health data itself, though correctly configured CoS queue mappings are important to prevent congestion-related packet loss on the switch, making it relevant to performance-oriented monitoring of queue behavior. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is stated, though its 802.1p priority model aligns with IEEE 802.1p/802.1Q standards concepts. It is typically deployed on Hirschmann HiOS-based industrial Ethernet switches used in automation and process-control networks requiring QoS-differentiated traffic handling, and administrators can download the HM2-PLATFORM-QOS-COS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HM2-PLATFORM-QOS-COS-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 HiOS-based industrial Ethernet switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would inspect the hm2AgentCosQueueCfgGroup object group to review how 802.1p priority values are mapped to hardware egress queues on a Hirschmann switch. Confirming this mapping aligns with the intended traffic-prioritization design (e.g., control/automation traffic routed to higher-priority queues) helps preempt congestion on industrial network segments carrying mixed real-time and best-effort traffic. Because only this single object group name was provided, no further per-queue object detail can be honestly described.

What Can Be Monitored

  • 802.1p priority-to-queue mapping configuration
  • CoS queue configuration group
