Module: Juniper-System-Clock-MIB

OID (symbolic): Juniper-System-Clock-MIB::juniNtpClientPacketSourceIfIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.2.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: When the NTP client sends an NTP packet, the source IP address is normally set to the address of the interface through which the NTP packet is sent.

Sets all the outgoing NTP packets' source ifIndex to one specific ifIndex on the NTP client from which the source ifIndex is taken. This ifIndex will be the index of the IP interface as NTP is IP/UDP based. If the value is zero, it means no interface has configured.

What is juniNtpClientPacketSourceIfIndex?

Forces all outgoing NTP packets from the client to use one specific interface's IP address as their source, per its DESCRIPTION, with a value of zero meaning no interface has been configured (falling back to the interface each packet is actually sent through). Useful for ensuring NTP requests always appear to originate from a stable management address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.2.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-System-Clock-MIB::juniNtpClientPacketSourceIfIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.2.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-System-Clock-MIB::juniNtpClientPacketSourceIfIndex.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.2.3.1 i <value>
