This command configures the node to assume the role of an NTP server. Unless the server command is used, this node functions as an NTP client only and does not distribute the time to downstream network elements. If an authentication key ID is specified in this command, the NTP server requires client packets to be authenticated.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure the node to function as an NTP client.
config>system>time>ntp
ntp-server [transmit key-id]
config>system>time>ntp#
config>system>time>ntp# ntp-server transmit 1
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following is a sample configuration output of NTP enabled with the ntp-server command configured.
