Field Descriptions
The following sections describe the fields displayed using the ntppeers command
Remote. The IP address of the remote association.
Local. The local interface address assigned by NTP to the remote association. If this address is
0.0.0.0, then the local address has yet to be determined.
St. The stratum level of the remote peer. If this number is 16, the remote peer has not been
synchronized.
Poll. The polling interval, in seconds.
Reach. The reachability register of the remote association, in octal format. This number is
determined by the NTP algorithm.
Delay. The currently estimated delay of this remote association, in seconds. This time is deter-
mined by the NTP algorithm.
Offset. The currently estimated offset of this remote association, in seconds. This time is deter-
mined by the NTP algorithm.
Disp. The currently estimated dispersion of this remote association, in seconds. This time is
determined by the NTP algorithm.
Display Alternate Peer Summary Information
The ntpdmpeers command displays a more detailed version of the ntpshowpeer command with
a slightly different output than the ntppeers command. To display a list of peers that includes
summary information, enter the ntpdmpeers command at the system prompt. A screen similar
to the following appears:

This table is identical to the ntppeers command except for the symbols displayed on the far
left side. A key for the symbols is provided below:
. Indicates that the remote association was cast aside during the false ticker
detection.
+ Indicates that the remote association was accepted and not discarded by
the false ticker detection.
* Indicates the remote association the switch is currently synchronizing with.
