Returning to work on ntpsnmpd after a hiatus I looked through the
MIB entries and discovered that I had accidentally skipped one of
the tables.<br>
<br>
The table is described as "The number of packets sent and received
by packet mode. One entry per packet mode.".<br>
<br>
It has 3 fields per mode: ntpEntStatPktMode, ntpEntStatPktSent,
ntpEntStatPktReceived.<br>
<br>
The first of those is listed as MAX-ACCESS == not-accessible. Why? /
What purpose does it serve to have it there?<br>
<br>
From the possible values of ntpEntStatPktMode it would appear that
the "modes" this table is talking about are not the normal NTP
communication modes like mode6.<br>
<br>
Query: should the "modes" listed under ntpEntStatPktMode be used as
the field indexes for the table entries?<br>
<br>
And I'm not entirely certain what data it wants anyway. I don't
think there are this many non-error packet counts in the entirety of
mode 6, let alone ones specific to ntpd and not its peers.<br>
