Description: NTP Reference Clock Identifier.  This is a
32 bit code identifying the particular reference
clock.  In the case of stratum 0 (unspecified) or
stratum 1 (primary reference), this is a four-
octet, left-justified, zero-padded ASCII string.
While not enumerated as part of the NTP spec, the
following are suggested ASCII identifiers:
==============================================
DCN             DCN routing protocol
NIST            NIST public modem
TSP             TSP time protocol
DTS             Digital Time Service
ATOM            Atomic clock (calibrated)
VLF             VLF radio (OMEGA,etc.)
callsign        Generic radio
LORC            LORAN-C radionavigation
GOES            GOES UHF environment satellite
GPS             GPS UHF satellite positioning
==============================================

The following ref ids are used by the SyncServer:
==============================================
GPS             GPS satellite)
IRIG            IRIG B timecode
1PPS            Ext. 1 PPS input
E10M              Ext. 10 MHz input
FREE            Internal Clock
FLY             Internal Clock after the Hardware
                Clock reference is lost
==============================================

What is ntpSysRefID?

Read-only string (1-40 characters) identifying the reference clock this system is synchronized to, e.g. 'GPS' for a GPS satellite source, 'IRIG' for IRIG-B timecode, or 'FREE' when running on the internal clock with no external reference.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.3.1.5.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYMM-SMI::ntpSysRefID

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.3.1.5.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYMM-SMI::ntpSysRefID.1

Start monitoring Symmetricom timing/synchronization products (namespace-only module, applies broadly across the vendor's line) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SYMM-SMI::ntpSysRefID OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Symmetricom timing/synchronization products (namespace-only module, applies broadly across the vendor's line) from a single console.
