swPTPBoundaryPortDelayMechanism

Module: PTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPortDelayMechanism

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.2.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This indicates the mechanism for measuring the propagation delay time of an event message.

e2e: End-to-End indicates that the port is configured to use the delay request-response mechanism. p2p: Peer-to-Peer is the peer delay mechanism

What is swPTPBoundaryPortDelayMechanism?

A read-write selector choosing how this boundary-clock port measures link propagation delay: e2e(1) uses the end-to-end delay request-response exchange with the master, while p2p(2) uses direct peer-to-peer delay measurement with the immediately connected neighbor. Admins pick p2p(2) on networks with transparent clocks in the path, since it measures link delay independent of the number of hops to the master.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.2.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPortDelayMechanism

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.2.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPortDelayMechanism.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.2.2.1.6.1 i <value>
