ieee8021AsDefaultDSGmCapable

Module: IEEE8021-AS-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsDefaultDSGmCapable

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-only

Description: True (1) if master clock capable; false (2) otherwise.

What is ieee8021AsDefaultDSGmCapable?

True if this device is capable of acting as grandmaster clock for the gPTP domain, false if it can only ever be a slave. Check this to confirm a given switch is even eligible to take over timing duties if the current grandmaster fails.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsDefaultDSGmCapable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.20.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-AS-MIB::ieee8021AsDefaultDSGmCapable.1
