5 Setting the system clock To display information about SNTP status, enter the following command. BigIron RX# show sntp status Clock is unsynchronized, stratum = 0, no reference clock precision is 2**0 reference time is 0 .0 clock offset is 0.0 msec, root delay is 0.0 msec root dispersion is 0.0 msec, peer dispersion is 0.0 msec Syntax: show sntp status The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp status command. TABLE 40 This field... Output from the show sntp status command Indicates... unsynchronized synchronized stratum reference clock precision reference time clock offset root delay root dispersion peer dispersion System is not synchronized to an NTP peer. System is synchronized to an NTP peer. NTP stratum level of this system IP Address of the peer (if any) to which the unit is synchronized Precision of this system's clock (in Hz) Reference time stamp Offset of clock to synchronized peer Total delay along the path to the root clock Dispersion of the root path Dispersion of the synchronized peer Setting the system clock In addition to SNTP support, the device also allows you to set the system time counter. It starts the system time and date clock with the time and date you specify. The time counter setting is not retained across power cycles and is not automatically synchronized with an SNTP server. NOTE To synchronize the time counter with your SNTP server time, enter the sntp sync command from the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI. NOTE Unless you identify an SNTP server for the system time and date, you will need to re-enter the time and date following each reboot. For more details about SNTP, refer to "Specifying a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server" on page 121. To set the system time and date to 10:15:05 on October 15, 2005, enter the following command. BigIron RX# clock set 10:15:05 10-15-05 Syntax: [no] clock set | 122 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1001810-01
