Cisco Cisco Expressway Maintenance Manual
Field
Description
Condition
Gives a relative ranking of each NTP server. All servers that are providing accurate time are
given a status of Candidate; of those, the server that the Expressway considers to be providing
the most accurate time and is therefore using shows a status of sys.peer.

Flash
A code giving information about the server's status. 00 ok means there are no issues. See the
Authentication Indicates the status of the current authentication method. One of ok, bad or none. none is
specified when the Authentication method is Disabled.
Event
Shows the last event as determined by NTP (for example reachable or sys.peer)
Reachability
Indicates the results of the 8 most recent contact attempts between the Expressway and the NTP
server, with a tick indicating success and a cross indicating failure. The result of the most recent
attempt is shown on the far right.
server, with a tick indicating success and a cross indicating failure. The result of the most recent
attempt is shown on the far right.
Each time the NTP configuration is changed, the NTP client is restarted and the Reachability
field will revert to all crosses apart from the far right indicator which will show the result of the first
connection attempt after the restart. However, the NTP server may have remained contactable
during the restart process.

during the restart process.
Offset
The difference between the NTP server's time and the Expressway's time.
Delay
The network delay between the NTP server and the Expressway.
Stratum
The degree of separation between the Expressway and a reference clock. 1 indicates that the
NTP server is a reference clock.
NTP server is a reference clock.
Ref ID
A code identifying the reference clock.
Ref time
The last time that the NTP server communicated with the reference clock.
Expressway time display and time zone
Local time is used throughout the web interface. It is shown in the system information bar at the bottom of the
screen and is used to set the timestamp that appears at the start of each line in the Event Log.
screen and is used to set the timestamp that appears at the start of each line in the Event Log.
Note that UTC timestamps are included at the end of each entry in the Event Log.
Internally, the Expressway maintains its system time in UTC. It is based on the Expressway's operating
system time, which is synchronized using an NTP server if one is configured. If no NTP servers are
configured, the Expressway uses its own operating system time to determine the time and date.
system time, which is synchronized using an NTP server if one is configured. If no NTP servers are
configured, the Expressway uses its own operating system time to determine the time and date.
Specifying your local Time zone lets the Expressway determine the local time where the system is located.
It does this by offsetting UTC time by the number of hours (or fractions of hours) associated with the selected
time zone. It also adjusts the local time to account for summer time (also known as daylight saving time)
when appropriate.
