Display Detailed Information for One or More Peers

The ntpshowpeer command allows you to view detailed NTP information about any remote
associations of this switch. To view detailed NTP information about a remote association enter
the ntpshowpeer command in the following manner:
ntpshowpeer <address>
where <address> is the either the domain name or IP address of the remote association. For
example, to show information for a peer with IP address 1.1.1.4, enter:
ntpshowpeer 1.1.1.4
A screen similar to the following is displayed:
remote 1.1.1.4, local 0.0.0.6

It is possible to display information from more than one remote association by adding more
addresses when entering the ntpshowpeer command. For example, to display information on a
peer with IP address 1.1.1.4 and a peer with IP address 1.1.1.5, enter:
ntpshowpeer 1.1.1.4 1.1.1.5
Field Descriptions
The following section describes the fields displayed using the ntpshowpeer command.
Remote. The IP address of the remote association.
Local. The local interface address assigned by NTP to the remote association. If this address is
0.0.0.0, then the local address has yet to be determined.
Hmode. The host mode of this remote association. There are five possible modes: symmetric
active, symmetric passive, client, server, and broadcast. The displayed mode is assumed if this
association becomes the switch’s host NTP server. For a description of the modes, see Display
List of Peers the Server Knows About on page 12-15. For a description of how to set a switch
host NTP server, see Specify the Host Whose NTP Server We Talk To on page 12-34.
Pmode. The peer mode of this remote association. There are five possible modes: symmetric
active, symmetric passive, client, server, and broadcast. The displayed mode is assumed if this
association becomes the switch’s host NTP server. For a description of the modes, see Display
List of Peers the Server Knows About on page 12-15. For a description of how to configure a
peer, see Configuring a New Peer Association on page 12-12
Stratum. The stratum level of the remote peer. If this number is 16, the remote peer has not
been synchronized.
