NTP Statistics
BLADE OS uses NTP (Network Timing Protocol) version 3 to synchronize the switch’s inter-
nal clock with an atomic time calibrated NTP server. With NTP enabled, the switch can accu-
rately update its internal clock to be consistent with other devices on the network and generates
accurate syslogs.
Use the following command to clear all NTP statistics: ntp clear
