ntpClientPollInterval
Module: SYMMNTPCLIENT
OID (symbolic): SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientPollInterval
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-write
Description: The NTP-Client Poll Interval
What is ntpClientPollInterval?
This read-write value, ranging from 4 to 17, sets the NTP client's poll interval, expressed as the standard NTP power-of-two exponent in seconds (so a value of 6 means polling roughly every 64 seconds, and 10 means roughly every 1024 seconds). Admins tune it to balance clock accuracy and responsiveness to drift against the amount of NTP query traffic generated. For example, an admin needing tighter time synchronization would lower this value toward 4 to poll more frequently, at the cost of more frequent NTP traffic.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientPollInterval
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientPollInterval.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.4.1 i <value>
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ntpClientPollInterval.1
