Description: Huawei clock synchronization MIB providing objects for managing system clock sources, synchronization hierarchy, and timing reference selection.

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 HUAWEI-CLK-MIB?

HUAWEI-CLK-MIB is a Huawei clock-management MIB covering the timing subsystem of carrier-grade network equipment, including clock source selection, synchronization hierarchy, and timing reference mode. It exposes configuration and status data about which clock reference a device is using and how its synchronization boards are operating, placing it squarely in the hardware/timing-status monitoring category. Objects covering system work mode and sub-board clock work mode let an operator confirm the device's clock subsystem is locked to a valid external reference rather than having fallen back to an internal oscillator or holdover state, which is a direct hardware health signal for timing-sensitive equipment. It complements standard synchronization concepts used in SDH/SONET and Synchronous Ethernet deployments, since clock quality and reference selection mirror those established standards. It is used on carrier transport and aggregation equipment, such as core and metro routers, that must maintain precise timing across a network. Engineers can download the HUAWEI-CLK-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HUAWEI-CLK-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

  • Huawei carrier-grade routers/switches with clock synchronization boards

Monitoring Examples

Objects like hwUASystemWorkMode and hw3rdClkSubBoardWorkMode let an operator poll which synchronization mode and clock reference a device's system and clock sub-board are currently running in; a change to a lower-quality internal or holdover mode indicates the primary clock reference has been lost, a critical fault on carrier equipment relying on SDH or Sync-E timing.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active clock source/reference
  • clock synchronization work mode
  • sub-board clock operating mode
  • clock reference loss/holdover state
