NTP metrics
Using Network Time Protocol (NTP), you can configure the time on the BCM
indirectly from a single time server. NTP is a network protocol designed to
synchronize the clocks of computers over an IP network. The NTP Metrics
provide an overview of the integrity of the NTP time source. If the BCM clock
control has not been configured to use NTP (Configuration>System>Date &
Time), then the NTP Metrics panel displays no data.
