swPTPMode
Module: PTP-MIB
OID (symbolic): PTP-MIB::swPTPMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This indicates the switch's PTP device type.
What is swPTPMode?
A read-write selector, defaulting to e2e-transparent(3), choosing this switch's PTP device role: boundary(1) acts as a full PTP clock that terminates and regenerates timing, while p2p-transparent(2) and e2e-transparent(3) just relay PTP messages while correcting for their own residence time using peer-delay or end-to-end delay measurement respectively. Admins pick boundary(1) when the switch itself needs to synchronize a local clock, or one of the transparent modes when it should just pass timing through with minimal distortion.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPMode
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPMode.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.2.1 i <value>
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::swPTPMode 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.
