Configuring basic system parameters

To display information about SNTP status, enter the following command.

Syntax: show sntp status

The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp status command.

Setting the system clock

In addition to SNTP support, switches and routers also allow you to set the system time counter.

The time counter setting is not retained across power cycles and is not automatically synchronized

with an SNTP server. The counter merely starts the system time and date clock with the time and

date you specify.

TABLE 4 Output from the show sntp associations command

This field... Displays...

(leading character) One or both of the following:

*Synchronized to this peer

~ Peer is statically configured

address IP address of the peer

ref clock IP address of the peer reference clock

st NTP stratum level of the peer

when Amount of time since the last NTP packet was received from the peer

poll Poll interval in seconds

delay Round trip delay in milliseconds

disp Dispersion in seconds

TABLE 5 Output from the show sntp status command

This field... Indicates...

unsynchronized System is not synchronized to an NTP peer.

synchronized System is synchronized to an NTP peer.

stratum NTP stratum level of this system

reference clock IP Address of the peer (if any) to which the unit is synchronized

precision Precision of this system's clock (in Hz)

reference time Reference time stamp

clock offset Offset of clock to synchronized peer

root delay Total delay along the path to the root clock

root dispersion Dispersion of the root path

peer dispersion Dispersion of the synchronized peer
