Configuring secure NTP
3. Refer to the following SNTP Association data for each SNTP association displayed:
290
Address
Displays the numeric IP address of the SNTP resource (Server) providing SNTP
updates to the controller.
Reference Clock Displays the address of the time source the controller is synchronized to.
Stratum Displays how many hops the controller is from a SNTP time source. The controller
automatically chooses the SNTP resource with the lowest stratum. The SNTP
supported controller is careful to avoid synchronizing to a server that may not be
accurate. Thus, the NTP enabled controller never synchronizes to a machine not
synchronized itself. The SNTP enabled controller compares the time reported by
several sources, and does not synchronize to a time source whose time is
significantly different than others, even if its stratum is lower.
When
Displays the date and time when the SNTP association was initiated. Has the
association been trouble free over that time?
Peer Poll Displays the maximum interval between successive messages, in seconds to the
nearest power of two.
Reach
Displays the status of the last eight SNTP messages. If an SNTP packet is lost, the
lost packet is tracked over the next eight SNTP messages.
Delay (sec) Displays the round-trip delay (in seconds) for SNTP broadcasts between the SNTP
server and the controller.
