This command configures the node to assume the role of an NTP server. Unless the server command is used, this node will function as an NTP client only and will 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 only.
config>system>time>ntp
ntp-server [transmit key-id]
The following example shows the command usage to configure the node to function as an NTP client only.
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.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
