Network Timing Protocol Support over IPv6

Version 32.6.1 adds Network Timing Protocol (NTP) support to configure NTP servers or peers in an IPv6 address format. When enabling NTP on a VLAN, NTP is also enabled on all the global IPv6 addresses of the VLAN. This feature also supports a combination of IPv4 and IPv6 servers or peers.

Limitations

The IPv6 address of a server received through DNS is not supported. The server‘s IPv6 address must be configured directly.
Restrict list is not supported for IPv6.
Broadcast client is not supported for IPv6.

Supported Platforms

All platforms.

Changed CLI Commands

The following commands add the ipV6_addr option:

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

configure ntp [server | peer] delete [ip_address | ipv6_address | host_name]
