Display Event Timer Subsystem Statistics

The ntptimer command allows you to view significant NTP events that have occurred on this
switch. To view significant NTP events, enter the ntptimer command at the system prompt. A
screen similar to the following is displayed:
time since reset: 0
alarms handled: 0
alarm overruns: 0
calls to transmit: 0
Field Descriptions
The following section describes the fields displayed using the ntptimer command.
time since reset. The number of seconds since the last reset of NTP.
alarms handled. The number of NTP alarms generated by this switch. NTP alarms occur when
the NTP algorithm determines that an NTP entity is out of synchronization.
alarm overruns. The number of times the NTP alarm routine was backed up.
calls to transmit. The number of requests from other NTP entities for information, either config-
uration, statistical, or timestamp.

Reset Various Subsystem Statistics Counters

To reset the counters displayed for the commands used in the NTP Statistics Menu (ntpstat,
ntploopinfo, ntpio, and ntptimer), use the ntpreset command. To reset the statistics, enter the
ntpreset command at the system prompt followed by one or more of the following flags:
io
sys
mem
timer
auth
allpeers
A brief message is displayed confirming the command.

Reset Stat Counters Associated With Particular Peer(s)

It is possible to remotely reset statistics for other NTP associations from the switch. To reset
statistics for an NTP association, enter the ntppreset command as follows:
ntppreset <address>
where <address> is the either the domain name or IP address of the remote association. For
example, to reset statistics for a peer with IP address 1.1.1.4, enter:
ntppreset 1.1.1.4
