5.3.5 Viewing NTP Associations

The interaction between the switch and a SNTP server constitutes an association. SNTP associations can be either a peer
association (the switch synchronizes to the another system or allows another system to synchronize to it), or a server
association (only the switch synchronizes to the SNTP resource, not the other way around).
To review the switch's current SNTP associations:
1. Select Services
2. Select the NTP Associations
3. Refer to the following SNTP Association data for each SNTP association displayed:

tab.
Displays the numeric IP address of the SNTP resource (Server) providing
SNTP updates to the switch.
Displays the address of the time source the switch is synchronized to.
Displays how many hops the switch is from a SNTP time source. The
switch automatically chooses the SNTP resource with the lowest stratum.
The SNTP supported switch is careful to avoid synchronizing to a server
that may not be accurate. Thus, the NTP enabled switch never
synchronizes to a machine not synchronized itself. The SNTP enabled
switch 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.
Displays the date and time when the SNTP association was initiated. Has
the association been trouble free over that time?
Displays the maximum interval between successive messages, in seconds
to the nearest power of two.
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.
