When you execute the `show ntp` command, the NIOS appliance displays the following information:

- **remote**: The IP address of the remote peer.
- **refid**: Identifies the reference clock.
- **st**: The stratum of the remote peer.
- **t**: The type of the peer, such as local, unicast or broadcast.
- **when**: When the last packet was received.
- **poll**: The polling interval, in seconds.
- **reach**: The reachability register, in octal numerals.
- **delay**: The current estimated delay, in seconds.
- **offset**: The offset of the peer clock relative to the local clock, in milliseconds. <span style="color: #111111">The offset value is generally limited to 6 digits.</span>
- **jitter**: The estimated time error of the system clock.

The following special characters may be seen on a peer:

- **<span style="color: #1d1c1d">*</span>**<span style="color: #1d1c1d">: The NTP server is synchronized to this peer.</span>
- **<span style="color: #1d1c1d">#</span>**<span style="color: #1d1c1d">: The NTP server is almost synchronized to this peer.</span>
- <span style="color: #1d1c1d">+: This peer is selected for possible synchronization.</span>
- <span style="color: #1d1c1d">–: This peer is a candidate for selection.</span>
- <span style="color: #1d1c1d">~: This Peer is statically configured.</span>
