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

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
