Description: Hirschmann HiOS (HM2) time zone MIB for system clock time zone and daylight saving time 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-TIMEZONE-MIB?

HM2-PLATFORM-TIMEZONE-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Hirschmann for devices running the HiOS (Hirschmann private Platform2, HM2) operating system, used to configure and read the device's system clock, time zone, and daylight-saving-time (summer time) settings. It exposes the current system time and date, time zone offset and acronym, and detailed recurring daylight-saving-time rule objects (starting week/day/month/time). Rather than performance or fault data, this MIB reports software/configuration status related to time synchronization, confirming a switch's clock and time zone are set correctly is important context for interpreting timestamps in logs, traps, and other monitoring data from the same device. It is a self-contained platform MIB within Hirschmann's private enterprise tree, with no apparent dependency on standard time MIBs. It is typically deployed on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches where accurate, zone-aware timestamps matter for log correlation and compliance, and administrators reference the HM2-PLATFORM-TIMEZONE-MIB MIB definition when configuring NTP and DST settings.

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

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hm2AgentSystemTime and hm2AgentSystemDate to confirm the switch's clock has synchronized correctly (e.g., via NTP) and matches expected wall-clock time. hm2AgentSystemTimeZoneAcronym and hm2AgentTimeZoneHoursOffset/hm2AgentTimeZoneMinutesOffset would be checked to verify the configured time zone is correct after a site relocation or configuration change. hm2AgentSystemSummerTimeState combined with hm2AgentStRecurringStartingWeek/Day/Month/Time reveals whether daylight-saving-time rules are configured and whether the device correctly transitioned at the last DST boundary.

What Can Be Monitored

  • system time and date
  • configured time zone offset
  • daylight saving time state
  • DST recurring rule configuration
