etsysSntpClientMulticastCount

Module: ENTERASYS-SNTP-CLIENT-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-SNTP-CLIENT-MIB::etsysSntpClientMulticastCount

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.38.1.3.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of unsolicited multicast SNTP messages that have been received and processed by the SNTP client. Unsolicited SNTP multicast frames will not be counted unless the SNTP agent is operating in multicast(2) mode, as specified by etsysSntpClientMode. Maintaining the value of this object across agent reboots is NOT RECOMMENDED.

What is etsysSntpClientMulticastCount?

A count of unsolicited multicast SNTP messages the client has received and processed while running in multicast mode. If this stays at zero, an admin knows the device isn't hearing anything from the multicast time server, likely a mode or network reachability issue.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.38.1.3.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-SNTP-CLIENT-MIB::etsysSntpClientMulticastCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.38.1.3.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-SNTP-CLIENT-MIB::etsysSntpClientMulticastCount.1

Start monitoring Enterasys (Extreme Networks) switches with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ENTERASYS-SNTP-CLIENT-MIB::etsysSntpClientMulticastCount OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Enterasys (Extreme Networks) switches from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an Enterasys (Extreme Networks) switch 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 etsysSntpClientMulticastCount into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of unsolicited multicast SNTP messages that have been received and processed by the SNTP client. 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.
