5.3.6 Viewing NTP Status
Refer to the NTP Status tab to display performance (status) information relative to the switch’s current NTP
association. Verifying the switch’s SNTP status is important to assess which resource the switch is currently
getting its system time from, as well as the time server’s current differences in time attributes as compared
to the current switch time.
To review the switch’s current NTP associations:
1. Select Services > Secure NTP from the main menu tree.
2. Select the NTP Status tab.
3. Refer to the SNTP Status field to review the accuracy and performance of the switch’s ability to
synchronize with a NTP server:
CAUTION: After an NTP synchronization using a Symmetric Key, the NTP status will not
automatically update.
Leap Indicates if a second will be added or subtracted to SNTP packet transmissions, or
if the transmissions are synchronized.
Stratum Displays how many hops the switch is from its current NTP time source.
Reference Displays the address of the time source the switch is synchronized to.
Frequency A SNTP server clock’s skew (difference) for the switch
Precision Displays the precision (accuracy) of the switch’s time clock (in Hz). The values that
normally appear in this field range from -6 for mains-frequency clocks to -20 for
microsecond clocks found in some workstations.
Reference time Displays the time stamp at which the local clock was last set or corrected.
Clock Offset Displays the time differential between switch time and the NTP resource.
