5.3.6 Viewing SNTP Status

Refer to the SNTP 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.

CAUTION: After an NTP synchronization using a Symmetric Key, the NTP status will not

!automatically be updated (it takes approximately 15 minutes to update within the switch Web UI.

To review the switch’s current NTP associations:

1.Select Services > Secure NTP from the main menu tree.

2.Select the SNTP 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:

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.
