Description: MIB for system clock, timezone offset, and daylight-saving time configuration on Netgear NG7000 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-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-MIB?

This Netgear private MIB, for the FASTPATH switch software, manages system clock time source, timezone offset, and daylight-saving/summer-time rules on Netgear NG7000-series managed switches. It exposes configuration objects for selecting the time source, setting timezone minutes offset and acronym, and defining recurring daylight-saving start/end rules (week, day, month, time). Its role is purely software/configuration status monitoring since there are no hardware sensors here, but verifying correct time settings matters because inaccurate switch clocks cause misleading timestamps in logs and traps used to diagnose hardware/software faults elsewhere on the device. It is a vendor-private extension that complements the standard SNMPv2-MIB sysUpTime and typically works alongside NTP/SNTP client configuration on the same switch. It is deployed on Netgear FASTPATH-based managed switches in enterprise network closets where accurate timestamping across the fleet is required. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the NETGEAR-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-TIMEZONE-PRIVATE-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 NG7000-series managed switch (FASTPATH)

Monitoring Examples

An admin would check agentSystemTimeSource to confirm the switch is synced from NTP rather than a manual clock, and agentTimeZoneMinutesOffset/agentTimeZoneAcronym to verify the correct timezone is applied. The agentSummerTimeMode combined with agentStRecurringStartingWeek/Day/Month/Time and agentStRecurringEndingWeek/Day/Month/Time objects would be checked to confirm daylight-saving transitions are scheduled correctly, since a misconfigured DST rule would cause an hour-long timestamp skew twice a year. agentSystemSummerTimeState reports whether summer time is currently active.

What Can Be Monitored

system time source
timezone offset and acronym
daylight-saving/summer-time mode and state
recurring DST start/end schedule

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentSystemTimeSource OID:

Select a Netgear NG7000-series managed switch (FASTPATH, system time/timezone) 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 agentSystemTimeSource into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The time source from which the time update is taken. 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 anything other than 'sntp', since that indicates the condition this object reports has changed to one worth investigating. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
