ntpClientTime
Module: SYMMNTPCLIENT
OID (symbolic): SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientTime
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: NTPCLIENTTIME
Access: read-write
Description: The NTP-Client Time. This is write-only object. Valid
What is ntpClientTime?
This read-write, effectively write-only action value triggers an immediate NTP time synchronization when set to syncNow(1); the other defined value, writeOnlyObject(2), reflects that this object exists purely to be written to rather than meaningfully read back. Admins use it to force an on-demand clock sync without waiting for the next scheduled poll interval. For example, after manually correcting a large clock discrepancy or changing the configured NTP server, an admin would set this object to syncNow(1) to immediately re-synchronize rather than waiting for the next automatic poll.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientTime
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYMMNTPCLIENT::ntpClientTime.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.1.3.2.5.1 s <value>
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ntpClientTime.1
