The following table displays the nonconfigurable SNTP Global Status information.
Table 7. SNTP Global Status information
Field Description
Version The SNTP version that the client supports.
Supported mode The SNTP modes that the client supports. Multiple modes can be supported by a client.
Last Update Time The local date and time (UTC) that the SNTP client last updated the system clock.
Last Attempt Time The local date and time (UTC) of the last SNTP request or receipt of an unsolicited
message.
Last Attempt Status The status of the last SNTP request or unsolicited message for both unicast and
broadcast modes. If no message was received from a server
, a status of Other is
displayed. These values are appropriate for all operational modes.
• Other.
The status of the last request is unknown.
• Success.
The SNTP operation was successful and the system time was updated.
• Request T
imed Out. After an SNTP request was sent to an SNTP server, the
response timer expired before a response from the server was received.
• Bad Date Encoded.
The time provided by the SNTP server is not valid.
• V
ersion Not Supported. The SNTP version supported by the server is not
compatible with the version supported by the client.
• Server Unsynchronized. The
SNTP server is not synchronized with its peers. This
is indicated by the leap indicator field in the SNTP message.
Server IP Address The IP address of the server for the last received valid packet. If no message was
received from any server
, an empty string is shown.
Address Type The address type of the SNTP server address for the last received valid packet.
Server Stratum The claimed stratum of the server for the last received valid packet.
Reference Clock ID The reference clock identifier of the server for the last received valid packet.
Server mode The mode of the server for the last received valid packet.
Unicast Server Max
Entries
The maximum number of unicast server entries that can be configured on this client.
Unicast Server
Current Entries
The number of current valid unicast server entries configured for this client.
Broadcast Count The number of unsolicited broadcast SNTP messages that were received and processed
by the SNTP client since the last reboot.
Configure an SNTP Server
SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond.
Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch operates only as
an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
Time sources are established by strata. Strata define the accuracy of the reference clock.
The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest), the more accurate the clock.
The device
receives time from Stratum 1 and above since it is itself a Stratum 2 device.
