Description: HP SNMP MIB for SNTP client configuration including server address and synchronization interval on HP networking devices.

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 HP-SNTPCLIENTCONFIGURATION-MIB?

HP-SNTPCLIENTCONFIGURATION-MIB is a Hewlett-Packard proprietary SNMP module for configuring the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client on HP networking devices, a lighter-weight counterpart to full NTP. It exposes configuration objects such as the SNTP server address and polling/synchronization interval. Its monitoring relevance is a software-status check similar to the NTP MIB — confirming the device's clock source is correctly configured and, where exposed, whether the device believes it is synchronized, since clock drift undermines log correlation, certificate validation, and time-based access control. It is a standalone HP proprietary module and not a formal extension of a common IETF SNTP MIB standard. It is used on smaller or lower-end HP networking devices that implement SNTP rather than full NTP for time synchronization. Engineers can download the HP-SNTPCLIENTCONFIGURATION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-SNTPCLIENTCONFIGURATION-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

HP networking device (switch/router) using SNTP

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object names were present in the sampled source beyond the module description, so specifics cannot be confirmed here. Based on its stated purpose, an administrator would poll this module's configured server-address and interval objects to confirm the device is still pointed at a valid, reachable SNTP time source rather than one that has been decommissioned.

What Can Be Monitored

configured SNTP server address
synchronization/polling interval

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpSntpStatsRcvdPkts OID:

Select an HP networking device (switch/router) using SNTP 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 hpSntpStatsRcvdPkts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of packets received. 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.
