hm2SystemTimeSource

Module: HM2-TIMESYNC-MIB

OID (symbolic): HM2-TIMESYNC-MIB::hm2SystemTimeSource

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.50.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Shows the source of the system time.

What is hm2SystemTimeSource?

Reports which mechanism is currently driving the device's clock: local free-running, sntp, ntp, ptp, or gps. Read this first when timestamps look wrong, to see whether the box fell back to its own local clock instead of an external time reference.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.50.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HM2-TIMESYNC-MIB::hm2SystemTimeSource

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.50.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HM2-TIMESYNC-MIB::hm2SystemTimeSource.1

Start monitoring Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (NTP/SNTP/PTP time sync) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the HM2-TIMESYNC-MIB::hm2SystemTimeSource OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (NTP/SNTP/PTP time sync) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (NTP/SNTP/PTP time sync) 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 hm2SystemTimeSource into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Shows the source of the system time. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is 'local', since that means the device has fallen back to its own clock instead of an external time reference. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
