IronWare Software Release 07.2.02j for Brocade FastIron switches
Release Notes v 1.0 Page 13 of 79
Field Description
authenticated If MD5 authentication is enabled for the peer.
sane or insane If the SNTP server passes sanity checks.
synched or unsynched If the system is synchronized or unsynchronized to the NTP peer.
valid or invalid If the peer time is valid or invalid.
stratum The NTP stratum level of the peer.
reference ID The IP address of the peer (if any) to which the unit is synchronized. The
reference ID can also refer to the external clock source if the peer is
stratum 1.
Examples of external clock source IDs: GPS, CDMA, WWV (Ft.Collins US
Radio 2.5, 5, 10, 15 MHz), CESM (calibrated Cesium clock), etc.
time The reference time stamp.
our mode The mode relative to the peer. The mode can be a client or a broadcast
client.
peer mode Peer mode relative to us.
our poll intvl The system poll interval relative to the peer.
peer poll intv The poll interval of the peer relative to the server.
root delay The total delay time in milliseconds along the path to the root clock.
root disp The dispersion of the root path in milliseconds.
delay The round trip delay to the peer in milliseconds.
offset The offset of the peer clock relative to the system clock.
precision The precision of the system clock in Hz.
version The NTP version of the peer. The version can be from 1 - 4.
org time The original timestamp of the system clock. The original timestamp is
what the client has sent to the server.
rcv time The receive timestamp of the system clock.
xmt time The transmit timestamp of the system clock.
To display information about SNTP status, enter the show sntp status command.
