Description: The interface type of the External Clock references.

What is nodeExternalClockInterfaceType?

This identifies the physical connector and signal standard wired to the node's external clock inputs: T1, E1 over BNC coax, or E1 over wire-wrap. This tells the admin what kind of test equipment or cabling to bring on site: an e1bnc(2) reading means 75-ohm coax test leads are needed, e1ww(3) means a wire-wrap tool, and t1(1) means standard T1 punch-down gear. For example, a field engineer checks nodeExternalClockInterfaceType before a site visit and sees e1ww(3), so packs a wire-wrap tool instead of BNC connectors.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.97
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeExternalClockInterfaceType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.97.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeExternalClockInterfaceType.1
