12.8 NTP Utilities
•
monlist [ version ]
Displays traffic counts collected. This is maintained by the monitor facility.
Normally, you should not need to specify the version number.
12.8.3.3 NTPDC Request Commands
The following commands make authenticated requests:
•
addpeer peer-address key-ID [version][prefer]
Adds a configured peer association at the given address and operates in
symmetric active mode. The existing association with the same peer may be
deleted when this command is executed or may be converted to conform to the
new configuration.
The key-ID is the key identifier for
requestkey
, as described in Table 12–2.
All outgoing packets to the remote server will have an authentication field
attached that is encrypted with this key.
The value for version can be 1, 2, or 3. The default is Version 3.
The prefer keyword indicates a preferred peer that will be used for clock
synchronization, if possible.
•
addserver peer-address key-ID [version][prefer]
This command is the same as
addpeer
except that the operating mode is
client.
•
broadcast peer-address key-ID [version][prefer]
This command is the same as
addpeer
, except that the operating mode is
broadcast. In this case, a valid key identifier and key value are required. The
peer-address parameter can be the broadcast address of the local network or a
multicast group address assigned to NTP.
•
unconfig peer-address [...]
Causes the configured bit to be removed from the specified remote peer. This
deletes the peer association. When appropriate, however, the association may
persist in an unconfigured mode if the remote peer is willing to continue in
this fashion.
•
enable [flag] [...]
disable [flag] [...]
These commands operate in the same way as the
enable
and
disable
configuration commands. See Section 12.3.2.
•
fudge peer-address [time1][time2] [stratum stratum][refID]
Provides a way to set time, stratum, and identification data for a reference
clock. (The TCP/IP Services product supports only the local reference clock.)
You can also run NTPDC by defining a foreign command as follows:
$ NTPDC:==$SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$NTPDC.EXE
Use the following syntax when entering commands:
NTPDC [option...]
