Description: NTP packet response load. Its range is 1-100 in unit of %.

What is ntpStatusPacketLoad?

This read-only string reports the current NTP packet response load on this port, expressed as a percentage from 1 to 100. Admins monitor it to see how heavily loaded the port's NTP service is, useful for spotting a port nearing capacity if a large number of downstream clients are polling it for time. An ntpStatusPacketLoad reading of 90 would warn the admin that port's NTP service is close to its capacity for handling client requests, worth checking against ntpCommonServiceLoadAlarmThreshold.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.2.1.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTP::ntpStatusPacketLoad

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.2.1.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTP::ntpStatusPacketLoad.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ntpStatusPacketLoad.1
