Description: Manages NTP server configuration and synchronization status on Avaya/Nortel BayStack ERS 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 BAY-STACK-NTP-MIB?

BAY-STACK-NTP-MIB is an Avaya (Bay Networks/Synoptics heritage) proprietary MIB configuring NTP client behavior on BayStack switches. Its objects cover a global NTP enable flag, a server table (address type/address, enable, authentication enable/key ID, autokey enable, version, stratum, root delay, precision, reachable/synchronized flags, packets sent/processed/discarded, row status), and a key table (ID, type, secret, row status). As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which NTP servers are configured and their synchronization/authentication status on a BayStack switch. It is deployed on Avaya (Bay Networks) BayStack switches. Engineers can download the BAY-STACK-NTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BAY-STACK-NTP-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

  • Avaya (Bay Networks) BayStack switches

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks bsNtpServerSynchronized and bsNtpServerStratum to confirm NTP time synchronization health on an Avaya BayStack switch.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bsNtpServerPckSent OID:

Select an Avaya/Nortel BayStack Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) (legacy) 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 bsNtpServerPckSent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of NTP packets sent to this server. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
