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 Shows how often the Dell PowerConnect device polls for clock updates from an SNTP server. Setting the system clock In addition to SNTP support, Dell PowerConnect switches and routers also allow you to set the system time counter. The time counter setting is not retained across power cycles and is not automatically synchronized with an SNTP server. The counter merely starts the system time and date clock with the time and date you specify. NOTE You can synchronize the time counter with your SNTP server time by entering 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 23. To set the system time and date to 10:15:05 on October 15, 2003, enter the following command.
