Description: Provides SNMP management objects for system time synchronization and clock configuration on Nortel Magellan Passport switches.

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 Nortel-Magellan-Passport-TimeMIB?

Nortel-Magellan-Passport-TimeMIB provides SNMP management objects for system time synchronization and clock configuration on Nortel Magellan Passport switches. It defines a row status/provisioning table for the time component, an operational table exposing the current network time, and objects reporting synchronization status and the currently selected synchronization source, alongside a time-server sub-component. This is a direct software-status monitoring MIB: an operator can check whether the switch's clock is synchronized, which time source it is locked to, and what the current network time value is, which matters for accurate event timestamping and coordination across a distributed switch network. It builds on the standard Passport RowStatus/StorageType conventions and typically interoperates with an external time-server protocol (e.g., NTP-like time distribution) referenced by the timeServer sub-component. It is used on Nortel Magellan Passport switches in carrier WAN deployments where consistent network-wide timestamps are required for billing, alarm correlation, and troubleshooting. Engineers can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-TimeMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-Magellan-Passport-TimeMIB. 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

  • Nortel Magellan Passport WAN switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls timeOperTable's timeSyncStatus to confirm the switch clock is currently synchronized, and checks timeSyncSource to see which reference (e.g., an external time server) it is locked to. timeNetworkTime exposes the current time value the switch is using, which can be compared against a trusted reference to detect drift. A timeSyncStatus reporting an unsynchronized or free-running state signals a clock or time-server reachability problem that could affect event-log accuracy across the network.

What Can Be Monitored

  • clock synchronization status
  • synchronization source
  • current network time value
  • time server configuration
