Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) V. Shankarkumar Request for Comments: 8173 L. Montini Category: Standards Track Cisco Systems ISSN: 2070-1721 T. Frost Calnex Solutions Ltd. G. Dowd Microsemi June 2017 Precision Time Protocol Version 2 (PTPv2) Management Information Base Abstract This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in internets based on TCP or IP. In particular, it defines objects for managing networks using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), specified in IEEE Std. 1588-2008. This memo specifies a MIB module in a manner that is both compliant to the Structure of Management Information version 2 (SMIv2) and semantically identical to the peer SMIv1 definitions. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 8173 PTPv2 MIB June 2017 1. Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing PTP devices including ordinary clocks, transparent clocks, and boundary clocks. This MIB module 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 that this MIB module 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 scope for the current document. Similarly, this MIB module is read-only and not intended to provide the ability to configure PTP clocks. Since PTP clocks are often embedded in other network elements such as routers, switches, and gateways, this ability is generally provided via the configuration interface for the network element.
