The ntp-server 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 authentication is specified in this command, the NTP server requires client packets to be authenticated based on the key received in the client request.
config>system>time>ntp
— ntp-server [authenticate]
config>system>time>ntp#
— config>system>time>ntp# ntp-server
— config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown
The following example shows NTP enabled with the ntp-server command configured.
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp# info
----------------------------------------------
no shutdown
ntp-server
----------------------------------------------
A:sim1>config>system>time>ntp#
