Description: Configures NMS Communications SNTP client server addresses and time synchronization polling parameters.
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 NMS-SNTP?
NMS-SNTP is a vendor MIB from NMS Communications used to configure the device's SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) client, including the list of configured time server IP addresses and polling parameters, as stated in its module description. It exposes configuration data governing time synchronization behavior rather than runtime performance counters. Its monitoring relevance is a software/configuration-status check: confirming the device is pointed at the correct, reachable time servers, since inaccurate device time can corrupt log timestamps, certificate validation, and correlation of alarms across a network. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is documented. It is deployed on NMS Communications network devices that require synchronized clocks for logging, security, and event correlation purposes. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the NMS-SNTP file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NMS-SNTP. 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
- NMS Communications network device
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll the configured SNTP server IP address list to confirm it matches the organization's approved time source, and would check polling interval settings to ensure updates occur frequently enough; an empty or unreachable server list would explain clock drift observed in device logs. Specific table/object names beyond the server address list were not disclosed in the sample data.
What Can Be Monitored
- configured SNTP server addresses
- time synchronization polling interval
