juniNtpSysClockRootDelay

Module: Juniper-System-Clock-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: JuniNtpClockSignedTime

Access: read-only

Description: This indicates the NTP time message total Network roundtrip delay to the primary reference source at the root of the synchronization subnet, in seconds. Note that this variable can take on both positive and negative values, depending on clock precision and skew.

What is juniNtpSysClockRootDelay?

The total network round-trip delay to the primary reference source at the root of the NTP synchronization subnet, in seconds, per its DESCRIPTION, which can be positive or negative depending on clock precision/skew. A consistently high root delay suggests the router's NTP path to its ultimate time source is going through many hops or a slow network.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-System-Clock-MIB::juniNtpSysClockRootDelay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.56.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Juniper-System-Clock-MIB::juniNtpSysClockRootDelay.1
