Description: Defines time-range schedule objects used by ACL and QoS policies on Netgear managed 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 NETGEAR-TIMERANGE-MIB?
NETGEAR-TIMERANGE-MIB defines time-range schedule objects on Netgear managed switches, used to bind access-control lists (ACLs) and QoS policies to specific times of day or days of the week. It is a configuration-only MIB, exposing named time-range groups rather than performance counters or hardware sensors, used to confirm that scheduled policy enforcement (e.g., blocking a guest VLAN after hours) is correctly defined and active on the switch's control software. Its monitoring value lies in verifying the software configuration state of scheduled policies rather than hardware health, as administrators check that time ranges are properly defined so dependent ACL/QoS features engage and disengage as intended. It has a direct dependency relationship with the switch's ACL and QoS MIBs (including NETGEAR-QOS-MIB), since time ranges are referenced by, rather than independently useful from, those policy MIBs. It is typically deployed in campus or branch office Netgear switch environments implementing time-of-day network access policies. Engineers can download the NETGEAR-TIMERANGE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-TIMERANGE-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
- Netgear FastPath-based managed switch
Monitoring Examples
An engineer would poll the fastPathTimeRangeGroup to enumerate configured time-range names and their start/end schedules, confirming a range like business-hours is correctly defined for 08:00-18:00 weekdays. If an ACL bound to that time range unexpectedly blocks or allows traffic outside expected hours, checking fastPathTimeRangeGroup would reveal whether the schedule itself was misconfigured. Because no per-entry sample objects beyond the group node were provided, deeper time-range table structure is inferred from the module's stated purpose.
What Can Be Monitored
- configured time-range schedule names
- time-range start/end times
- days-of-week applicability
- linkage to ACL/QoS policies
