swPTPBoundaryPriority2

Module: PTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPriority2

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This indicates the PTP boundary clock attributes. The priority 2 attribute is used in the execution of the best master clock algorithm. Lower values take precedence.

In the event that the operation of the BMC algorithm fails to order the clocks based on the values of priority1, the clock's class, and the clock's accuracy; the priority2 attribute will allow the creation of lower values compared to the other devices.

What is swPTPBoundaryPriority2?

A read-write integer (0-255, default 128) setting the boundary clock's priority2 attribute, a tiebreaker used only when priority1, clock class, and clock accuracy fail to distinguish between candidate masters. Admins use this as a secondary lever to nudge which clock wins the Best Master Clock election when the primary criteria are tied.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPriority2

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPBoundaryPriority2.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.5.1 i <value>
