Managing NTP Peer Support

An NTP peer is a member of a group of NTP servers. Normally, an NTP peer is used to synchronize clock information among a group of servers that serve as mutual backups for each other. Typically, core switches are configured as NTP peers, and an NTP server is configured as a core switch to an NTP client, aggregation switch, or edge switch. An NTP client can choose the most reliable clock from all servers that have a peer relationship with the client.

To configure an NTP peer, use the following command:
configure ntp [server | peer] add [ip_address | host_name] {key keyid} {option [burst | initial-burst]} {{vr} vr_name}
To delete an NTP peer, use the following command:
configure ntp [server | peer] delete [ip_address | host_name]
To display an NTP peer, use the following command:
show ntp

show ntp association [{ip_address} | {host_name}] {{vr} vr_name}

show ntp sys-info
