Alteon OS Command Reference

/stats/ntp [clear]

NTP Statistics

Alteon OS uses NTP (Network Timing Protocol) version 3 to synchronize the switch’s internal clock with an atomic time calibrated NTP server. With NTP enabled, the switch can accurately update its internal clock to be consistent with other devices on the network and generates accu- rate syslogs.

Use the following command to clear all NTP statistics: ntp clear
