Enables NTP to send broadcast messages with or without a key to a VLAN (Virtual LAN).
vlan-name | Specifies the name of a particular VLAN on which to enable or disable NTP. |
keyid | Specifies the key ID as a value from 1 to 65534. |
An NTP broadcast server is enabled by default.
For the broadcast server function to work correctly, configure a VLAN to forward broadcast packets by using the enable ipforwarding broadcast vlan-name command. All broadcast clients will receive clock information from the broadcasted clock messages.
The following command enables an NTP broadcast server on the switch:
enable ntp vlan toSW3 broadcast-server key 100
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.7.
