Description: Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch MIB providing NTP client configuration and synchronization status objects.
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 ME1200-NTP-MIB?
ME1200-NTP-MIB is a Cisco-specific MIB for the ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch, providing the vendor's own private implementation of NTP (Network Time Protocol) client management. It exposes an NTP global operating mode object and a table of configured NTP server entries indexed by server address. It supports software/service status monitoring around time synchronization: an operator can confirm whether the NTP client is enabled via me1200NtpConfigGlobalsMode and check which time servers are configured in me1200NtpConfigServerTable, which matters because clock drift undermines log timestamp accuracy and any time-sensitive protocol running on the switch. The module description notes it is explicitly 'a private version of NTP,' implying it parallels but does not directly extend the standard IETF NTPv4-MIB (RFC 5907). It's deployed on Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switches in service-provider access/aggregation networks where accurate network-wide time synchronization is required. Engineers can download the ME1200-NTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-NTP-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
- Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet access switch
Monitoring Examples
Walking me1200NtpConfigServerTable/me1200NtpConfigServerEntry by me1200NtpConfigServerIndex returns each configured me1200NtpConfigServerAddress. If me1200NtpConfigGlobalsMode shows the client enabled but none of the configured server addresses are reachable, the switch's clock will drift over time — an issue an admin would catch by cross-referencing the configured server list against actual synchronization behavior.
What Can Be Monitored
- NTP client global mode (enabled/disabled)
- configured NTP server addresses
- number of configured NTP servers
