Description: Manages NBS device NTP server synchronization configuration and timing status.
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 NBS-NTP-MIB?
NBS-NTP-MIB is a vendor private MIB for NBS-branded network devices, managing Network Time Protocol (NTP) server synchronization configuration and status. It exposes a global NTP enable flag, an NTP server table sized by nbsNtpServerTableSize, and per-entry server IP addresses with an associated status field. Its monitoring purpose is software/configuration status: an administrator can confirm NTP is enabled on the device via nbsNtpEnable, verify which time servers are configured via nbsNtpServerIpAddr, and check nbsNtpServerStatus to detect a configured NTP server that has become unreachable or is not synchronizing, which risks clock drift affecting event-log timestamps and scheduled operations. As a vendor-specific NTP MIB it is functionally analogous to (though not derived from) the standard NTPv4-MIB used by many other vendors. It is deployed on NBS network devices where accurate time synchronization is required for logging, authentication, or scheduling purposes. Engineers can download the NBS-NTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NBS-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
- NBS network device
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll nbsNtpEnable to confirm NTP is turned on, then iterate nbsNtpServerTable/nbsNtpServerEntry to check each nbsNtpServerIpAddr against its nbsNtpServerStatus. A server entry reporting a non-synchronized or unreachable status would reveal that the device has lost its time source, risking clock drift that could invalidate certificate validity checks or misalign log timestamps used for troubleshooting. nbsNtpServerTableSize confirms how many server entries are currently configured.
What Can Be Monitored
- NTP enabled state
- configured NTP server addresses
- NTP server sync status
- number of configured NTP servers
