swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved

Module: PTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.4.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This indicates the number of communication paths traversed between the local clock and the grandmaster clock.

What is swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved?

A read-only integer counting how many PTP communication paths (hops) separate this unit's clock from the domain's grandmaster clock. Admins watch this to gauge how far downstream this switch sits in the timing hierarchy, since more steps generally means more accumulated synchronization error.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.4.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.4.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved.1

Start monitoring D-Link switches, e.g. layer-3 managed switch series, supporting IEEE 1588 PTP with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryClockStepsRemoved OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any D-Link switches, e.g. layer-3 managed switch series, supporting IEEE 1588 PTP from a single console.
