Description: Hirschmann ring management SNMP MIB for configuring HIPER-Ring redundancy protocol on Hirschmann switches.

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 HMRING-MGMT-SNMP-MIB?

HMRING-MGMT-SNMP-MIB is a Hirschmann (Belden) enterprise MIB for configuring and monitoring the HIPER-Ring redundancy protocol, a proprietary ring-topology resiliency mechanism used on industrial Ethernet switches. It exposes per-ring configuration and state such as primary and redundant port assignments, their interface operational state, overall ring redundancy operating mode and state, and recovery delay timing. This is chiefly a software/network-resilience health monitoring MIB: an operator watches hmRingRedOperState and the per-port hmRingRedPrimIfOpState/hmRingRedRedIfOpState to know whether the ring is healthy, whether a break has triggered failover to the redundant path, and how quickly recovery occurs. It is a Hirschmann-proprietary protocol MIB, not based on a standards-track ring protocol like RSTP or ERPS, so it applies only within Hirschmann's ring-redundancy ecosystem. It is deployed on Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches used in factory automation, rail, and utility network rings requiring fast failover. Engineers can download the HMRING-MGMT-SNMP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HMRING-MGMT-SNMP-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 (Belden) industrial Ethernet switches (HIPER-Ring redundancy)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll hmRingRedTable/hmRingRedEntry to check hmRingRedOperState and confirm the ring is currently in its normal redundant state, watching hmRingRedPrimIfOpState and hmRingRedRedIfOpState for the primary and redundant links respectively. If the primary link's operational state goes down, a shift in hmRingRedConfigOperState combined with the configured hmRingRedRecoveryDelay reveals how the switch failed over to the redundant path and how long recovery took.

What Can Be Monitored

  • ring redundancy operational state
  • primary/redundant link operational status
  • ring recovery delay
  • ring redundancy mode
