show ntp associations Command Output

Field

Description

*

The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to the system variables.

#

This peer is a survivor in the selection algorithm.

+

This peer is a candidate in the combine algorithm.

-

This peer is discarded as outlier in the clustering algorithm.

x

This peer is discarded as a 'falsticker' in the selection algorithm.

~

The server or peer is statically configured.

address

IPv4 or IPv6 address of the peer.

ref clock

IPv4 address or first 32 bits of the MD5 hash of the IPv6 address of the peer to which the clock is synchronized.

St

Stratum setting for the peer.

when

Time, in seconds, since last NTP packet was received from peer.

poll

Polling interval (seconds).

reach

Peer reachability (bit string, in octal).

delay

Round-trip delay to the peer, in milliseconds.

offset

Relative time difference between a peer clock and a local clock, in milliseconds.

disp

Dispersion.
