The show ntp status command displays the following information.

Output field Description
synchronized Indicates that the system clock is synchronized to the NTP server or peer.
stratum Indicates that the stratum number that this system is operating. Range is from 2 to 15.
reference clock The IPv4 address or the first 32 bits of the MD5 hash of the IPv6 address of the peer to which the clock is synchronized.
precision Precision of the clock of this system, in Hz.
reference time Reference time stamp.
clock offset Offset of clock (in milliseconds) to synchronized peer.
root delay Total delay (in milliseconds) along the path to the root clock.
root dispersion Dispersion of the root path, in milliseconds.
peer dispersion Dispersion of the root path, in milliseconds.
system poll interval Poll interval of the local system.
last clock update Elapsed time since the router last updated its NTP information.
server mode Status of the NTP server mode for this device.
client mode Status of the NTP client mode for this device.
NTP master mode Status of the master mode.
NTP master stratum The stratum number that will be used by this device when the master is enabled and no upstream time servers are accessible.
panic mode The status of the panic mode.
