Parameter Description
NTP Service Status Use this action to get the current NTP running status.
A character before an address is referred to as a tally code. Tally codes indicate the fate of the peer in the clock
selection process. The following describes the meaning of each tally code:
Tally Code Description
blank A blank tally code indicates the peer has been discarded either because it is unreachable, it is synchronized to
the same server (synch loop) or the synchronization distance is too far.
x This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its clock is not correct. This is referred to as a
falseticker.
. This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its synchronization distance is too poor to be
considered a candidate.
- This tally code indicates the peer has been discarded because its offset is too a significant compared to the
other peers. This is referred to as an outlier.
+ This tally code indicates the peer is considered a candidate.
# This tally code indicates the peer is considered a candidate, but it is not among the top six sorted by
synchronization distance. If the association is short-lived, it may be demobilized to conserve resources.
* This tally code indicates the peer is the system peer.
o This tally code indicates the peer is the system peer, but the synchronization distance is derived from a Pulse-
Per-Second (PPS) signal.
