btPrimaryClock

Module: Fore-Switch-MIB

OID (symbolic): Fore-Switch-MIB::btPrimaryClock

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.3.2.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The source of the primary 8kHz clock for this board. The clock may be used by each network module in the switch as the network module import clock. The clock may also be used by the management station as the primary or secondary source of the Stratum 3E clock.

What is btPrimaryClock?

This OID specifies which clock signal the switch uses as its primary 8kHz reference clock for synchronizing network modules. The clock source affects timing accuracy across the entire switch fabric. A telecommunications engineer would configure this to synchronize the switch with a primary clock source like GPS or a carrier network clock.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.3.2.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::btPrimaryClock

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.3.2.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Fore-Switch-MIB::btPrimaryClock.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.326.2.2.1.3.2.1.1.2.1 i <value>
