IP Address/ | Displays the numeric IP address of the resource (peer or server) providing SNTP resources for |
Hostname | the switch. Ensure the server is on the same subnet as the switch in order to provide SNTP |
| support. |
Neighbor Type | Displays whether the NTP resource is a Peer (another associated peer device capable of |
| SNTP support) or a Server (a dedicated SNTP server resource). This designation is made |
| when adding or editing an NTP neighbor. |
Key ID | Displays whether AutoKey Authentication or Symmetric Key Authentication is used to secure |
| the interaction between the switch and its NTP resource. This designation is made when |
| adding or editing an NTP neighbor. |
Preferred Source | Displays whether this NTP resource is a preferred NTP resource. Preferred sources (those |
| with a checkmark) are contacted before |
| one preferred source. |
NTP Version | Displays a NTP version between 1 and 4. Currently version three and version four |
| implementations of NTP are available. The latest version is NTPv4, but the official Internet |
| standard is NTPv3. |
