Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Configuring the device as an Sntp server

	Configuring the device as an SNTP server	2
Field	Description
precision	The precision of the system clock in Hz.
version	The NTP version of the peer. The version can be from 1 - 4.
org time	The original timestamp of the system clock. The original timestamp is
	what the client has sent to the server.
rcv time	The receive timestamp of the system clock.
xmt time	The transmit timestamp of the system clock.

To display information about SNTP status, enter the show sntp status command.

Brocade# show sntp status

Clock is synchronized, stratum = 4, reference clock = 10.70.20.23 precision is 2**-20

reference time is 3489354594.3780510747

clock offset is 0.0000 msec, root delay is 0.41 msec

root dispersion is 0.11 msec, peer dispersion is 0.00 msec sntp poll-interval is 10 secs

Syntax: show sntp status

The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp status command.

TABLE 7	Output from the show sntp status command
Field		Description
unsynchronized		System is not synchronized to an NTP peer.
synchronized		System is synchronized to an NTP peer.
stratum		NTP stratum level of the upstream time server.
reference clock		IP address of the peer reference clock, or the reference ID of the
		external clock source if the peer is stratum 1.
		Examples of external clock source IDs: GPS, CDMA, WWV (Ft.Collins US
		Radio 2.5, 5, 10, 15 MHz), CESM (calibrated Cesium clock), etc.
precision		Precision of this system's clock (in Hz)
reference time		Reference time stamp
clock offset		Offset of clock to synchronized peer
root delay		Total delay along the path to the root clock
root dispersion		Dispersion of the root path
peer dispersion		Dispersion of the synchronized peer
sntp poll-interval		Shows how often the Brocade device polls for clock updates from an
		SNTP server.

Configuring the device as an SNTP server

You can configure the Brocade ICX 6650 device to function as an SNTP server to its downstream clients. When using the device as an SNTP server, you can also set it to use its own internal clock as the reference source if an upstream server becomes unavailable.
