Abstract The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used in networks of all types and sizes for time synchronization of servers, workstations and other networked equipment. As time synchronization is more and more a mission critical service, standardized means for monitoring and management of this subsystem of a networked host are required to allow operators of such a service to setup a monitoring system that is platform- and vendor-independant. This RFC draft provides a standardized collection of data objects for monitoring the NTP Gerstung Expires January 2, 2007 [Page 1] Internet-Draft Definitions of Managed Objects for NTPv4 July 2006 service of such a network participant and it is part of the NTP Version 4 standardization effort.

The Internet-Standard Management Framework For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC3410 [4]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in RFC2578 [1], RFC2579 [2] and RFC2580 [3]. 2. Introduction The NTPv4 MIB Module is designed to allow SNMP to be used to monitor and manage local NTP service instances. It provides a collection of data objects that can be queried using the SNMP protocol and represent the current status of the NTP service instance. This includes general information about the NTP service instance itself (vendor, product, version) as well as connectivity to upstream NTP servers used as sources of reference time and to hardware reference clocks like radio clocks. The most important values are included in order to be able to detect failures before they can have an impact on the overall time synchronization status of the network. 3. Technical Description The NTPv4 MIB Module is divided into sections for general server information, current NTP service status, status information of all mobilized associations (e.g. unicast upstream time servers, multicast or broadcast time references and hardware clocks) as well as SNMP trap definitions for core events. The general server information section contains static information and can be queried to identify which NTP service implementation is running on a host. This includes the vendor and product name of the running NTP software as well as version information, hardware/os platform identity and the time resolution of the underlying OS. Section 2 (current NTP status) includes data objects that represent the current operational status of the NTP service instance. The third section contains data objects that represent the set of time references ("associations") the NTP instance is currently Gerstung Expires January 2, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Definitions of Managed Objects for NTPv4 July 2006 working with. Certain important events can occur while the NTP instance is running. The fourth section defines SNMP traps for a collection of the most important ones ("core events") and additionally provides a heartbeat trap as well as a test trap to allow management systems to test the reception of NTP related traps as well as enable heartbeat-based monitoring systems to assure that the NTP service is still up and running. 4.

IANA Considerations The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry: Descriptor OBJECT IDENTIFIER value ---------- ----------------------- ntpSnmp { mib-2 XXX } RFC Ed. : the IANA is requested to assign a value for "XXX" under the 'mib-2' subtree and to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers registry. When the assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked to replace "XXX" (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value and to remove this note. 6. Security Considerations All data objects in this MIB are read-only and therefore security is managed by the implementation of the SNMP agent providing the data objects in this MIB. The general access management methods used for SNMP agents apply. 7. References 7.1. Normative References [1] McCloghrie, K., Ed., Perkins, D., Ed., and J.
