NTP Statistics Menu
Page 12-29
It is possible to reset the statistics for more than one
NTP
association at a time by adding more
than one address to the command. For example, to reset statistics for a peer with IP address
1.1.1.4 and a peer with IP address 1.1.1.5, you would enter:
ntppreset 1.1.1.4 1.1.1.5
A brief message is displayed confirming the command.
Display Packet Count Statistics from the Control Module
In a comprehensive network-management environment, facilities should exist to perform
routine
NTP
control and monitoring functions. The control module of
NTP
is responsible for
sending and receiving control messages. To display the statistics for the control module, enter
the
ntpctlstat
command at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following is shown:
time since reset: 0
requests received: 0
responses sent: 0
fragments sent: 0
async messages sent: 0
error msgs sent:
0
total bad pkts: 0
packet too short: 0
response on input: 0
fragment on input: 0
error set on input: 0
bad offset on input: 0
bad version packets: 0
data in pkt too short: 0
unknown op codes: 0
Field Descriptions
The following section describes the fields displayed using the
ntpctlstat
command.
time since reset
. The number of seconds since the last reset of
NTP
(usually a switch reboot).
requests received

NTP
messages sent from this switch in response to
NTP
associ-
ation requests.

judged by this switch to be incorrect.
async messages sent
. The number of async trap packets sent.
error msgs sent

entities
because the switch was not able to respond to the
NTP
entity’s request.
total bad pkts
. The total number of packets received that
NTP
was not able to read.
packet too short
. The number of packets received that
NTP
rejected because the packet was
the incorrect length.
response on input
. The number of packets received that required the switch to respond to the
sender with an
NTP
message.
fragment on input
. The number of packets received that the switch that did not contain
complete
NTP
data.
error set on input
. The number of input control packets received with the error bit set.
