configure ntp [server | peer] add [ip_address | ipv6_address | host_name] {key keyid} {option [burst | initial-burst]} {{vr} vr_name}

Description

Configures an NTP server or peer.

Syntax Description

ip_address Specifies the IP address of the NTP server or peer.
ipv6_address Specifies the IPv6 address of the NTP server or peer.
host_name Specifies the host name of the NTP server or peer.
keyid Specifies the key ID as a value from 1 to 65534.
burst Follows the same burst mechanism when an NTP server is reachable.
initial-burst Allows the system to send six burst packets when an NTP server becomes unreachable (discovered but unreachable).
vr Specifies VR.
vr_name Specifies the VR name. If no VR name is specified, the current command context is used.

Default

If no VR name is specified, the current command context is used.

Usage Guidelines

The initial-burst option is useful when a fast time synchronization is required at the initial stage.

Example

The following command adds an NTP server named “Missouri” with key 5 and an initial burst:

configure ntp server add Missouri key 5 initial-burst

Example

The following command adds an NTP server named 1000::1:

configure ntp server add 1000::1 vr VR-Default
