system peer The IP address of the peer NTP server.

removed at the end of the last day of the current month.
l 00 no warning
l 01 +1 second (following minute has 61 seconds)
l 10 -1 second (following minute has 59 seconds)
stratum The stratum level of the peer
precision The advertised precision of the switch. This value can range from -4 and -20,
inclusive.
root distance Total round trip delay to the stratum 1 reference clock.
root dispersion Total dispersion to the stratum 1 reference clock. This value is a cumulative
measure of all errors associated with the network hops and servers between
the NTP server and its stratum 1 server.
reference ID IPv4/IPv6 address of the remote NTP server.
Note:When NTP server is reachable through IPv4 address, use the address
as is. If done through IPv6 address, the Reference ID is calculated instead of
directly taking the IPV6 address on the NTP Server. The controller performs
a MD5 checksum and the last 4 bytes are considered as the reference ID.
reference time Time when the local system clock was last set or corrected, in NTP
timestamp
format.
system flags This parameter displays any flags configured for this NTP entity.
jitter The average magnitude of jitter between several time queries.
