Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
   In particular, it defines objects for managing networks using
   Precision Time Protocol, specified in [IEEE 1588-2008].

   This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant
   to the SNMPv2 SMI, and semantically identical to the peer SNMPv1
   definitions.

1. Introduction

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet Community.
   In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing PTP
   devices including the ordinary clock, transparent clock, boundary
   clocks.

   This MIB is restricted to reading standard PTP data elements, as
   described in [IEEE 1588-2008].  This enables it to monitor the
   operation of PTP clocks within the network.  It is envisioned this
   MIB will complement other managed objects to be defined that will
   provide more detailed information on the performance of PTP clocks
   supporting the Telecom Profile defined in [G.8265.1], and any future
   profiles that may be defined.  Those objects are considered out of
