Viewing Ntp Status - Motorola RFS Series Reference Manual

5.3.6 Viewing NTP Status

Refer to the NTP Status
association. Verifying the switch's SNTP status is important to assess which resource the switch is currently
getting its system time from, as well as the time server's current differences in time attributes as compared
to the current switch time.
CAUTION: After an NTP synchronization using a Symmetric Key, the NTP status will not
automatically update.
To review the switch's current NTP associations:
1. Select Services
2. Select the NTP Status
3. Refer to the SNTP Status

Displays the precision (accuracy) of the switch's time clock (in Hz). The values that
normally appear in this field range from -6 for mains-frequency clocks to -20 for
microsecond clocks found in some workstations.
Displays the time stamp at which the local clock was last set or corrected.
Displays the time differential between switch time and the NTP resource.
