ntpStatusRootDispersion
Module: SYMMNTP
OID (symbolic): SYMMNTP::ntpStatusRootDispersion
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.2.1.1.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: Root dispersion. Hardcoded to be 0.
What is ntpStatusRootDispersion?
This read-only string reports the NTP root dispersion for this port, though the description notes this value is hardcoded to 0 in the current implementation. Root dispersion normally indicates the maximum error accumulated along the path to the reference clock; admins should be aware this device always reports 0 rather than reflecting a genuinely measured dispersion value. Because ntpStatusRootDispersion is hardcoded to 0, an admin can't rely on it to gauge actual timing uncertainty and would instead check ntpStatusStratumLevel and ntpStatusLeapStatus for sync confidence.
