ieee8021AsCurrentDSStepsRemoved

Module: IEEE8021-AS-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsCurrentDSStepsRemoved

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of communication paths traversed between the local clock and the grandmaster clock (see Table 10.3.3).

For example, stepsRemoved for a slave clock on the same PTP communication path as the grandmaster clock will have a value of 1, indicating that a single path was traversed.

What is ieee8021AsCurrentDSStepsRemoved?

Counts how many gPTP communication paths separate this device's clock from the grandmaster; a slave directly on the grandmaster's link reports 1. Rising step counts help identify how deep in the sync topology a device sits, useful when diagnosing accumulated jitter.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsCurrentDSStepsRemoved

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsCurrentDSStepsRemoved.1
