The switch uses NTP (Network Timing Protocol) version 3 to synchronize the switch’s internal clock with an atomic 
time-calibrated NTP server. With NTP enabled, the switch can accurately update its internal clock to be consistent 
with other devices on the network and generates accurate syslogs. 
The following table describes the NTP statistics: 
Table 56 NTP statistics 
Statistics 
Description 
Primary Server 
Requests Sent: The total number of NTP requests the switch sent to the primary 
NTP server to synchronize time. 
Responses Received: The total number of NTP responses received from the 
primary NTP server. 
Updates: The total number of times the switch updated its time based on the NTP 
responses received from the primary NTP server. 
Secondary Server 
Requests Sent: The total number of NTP requests the switch sent to the 
secondary NTP server to synchronize time. 
Responses Received: The total number of NTP responses received from the 
secondary NTP server. 
Updates: The total number of times the switch updated its time based on the NTP 
responses received from the secondary NTP server. 
Last update based on 
response from primary 
server 
Last update of time on the switch based on either primary or secondary NTP 
response received. 
Last update time 
The time stamp showing the time when the switch was last updated. 
Current system time 
The switch system time when the command /stats/ntp was issued. 
 Statistics dump 
Command: /stats/dump 
Use the dump command to dump all switch statistics available from the Statistics Menu (40K or more, depending 
on your configuration). This data can be used to tune or debug switch performance. 
If you want to capture dump data to a file, set your communication software on your workstation to capture session 
data prior to issuing the dump commands.
