Example

Infoblox > show ntp
 remote      refid   st t   when   poll  reach  delay  offset   jitter

When you execute the show ntp command, the NIOS appliance displays the following information:

• remote: The IP address of the remote peer.
• refid: Identifies the reference clock.
• st: The stratum of the remote peer.
• t: The type of the peer, such as local, unicast or broadcast.
• when: When the last packet was received.
• poll: The polling interval, in seconds.
• reach: The reachability register, in octal numerals.
• delay: The current estimated delay, in seconds.
• offset: The offset of the peer clock relative to the local clock, in milliseconds. The offset value is generally limited to 6 digits.
• jitter: The estimated time error of the system clock. 

The following special characters may be seen on a peer:

• *: The NTP server is synchronized to this peer.
• #: The NTP server is almost synchronized to this peer.
• +: This peer is selected for possible synchronization.
• –: This peer is a candidate for selection.
• ~: This Peer is statically configured.
