swPTPTransportProtocol

Module: PTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): PTP-MIB::swPTPTransportProtocol

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This indicates the transport protocol that will be used for the communication path.

What is swPTPTransportProtocol?

A read-write selector, defaulting to udp(1), choosing whether PTP messages are carried over UDP/IP or directly over Ethernet. Admins pick ethernet(2) in networks that need Layer 2 PTP (avoiding IP routing/NAT effects on timing) instead of the more common UDP transport.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPTransportProtocol

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PTP-MIB::swPTPTransportProtocol.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.94.1.1.3.1 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::swPTPTransportProtocol 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.
