MDA-timestamp

The mda-timestamp command enables timestamping on an adapter card by the network processor to allow more accurate timestamping for in-band NTP packets. Timestamping on an adapter card is only performed on Ethernet-based adapter cards. This command can only be set if NTP is shut down and all the NTP servers are not associated with an authentication key. This command does not change the behavior of NTP over the management port. Use the no form of this command to revert to the default behavior of having NTP packets timestamped by the CSM.

CLI Syntax:

config>system>time>ntp
    mda-timestamp

Example:

config>system>time>ntp# mda-timestamp
config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown

The following example shows enhanced NTP performance enabled using the mda-timestamp command.
