Configuring NTP to Operate in Client Mode

Use the following configuration statements to configure NTP on a C-series platform to operate in client mode:

system ntp server address{
    version version;
    prefer;
}

To configure NTP to operate in client mode:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an NTP server and specify the IP address or hostname of an NTP server.
  2. [edit system ntp]
    
    user@host# edit server address
    
    
    

For example, to specify an NTP server that has as IP address of 192.0.2.30:

[edit system ntp]
user@host# edit server 192.0.2.30

[edit system ntp server 192.0.2.30]
user@host#

  1. (Optional) Specify the version of NTP to be used for outgoing packets.
  2. [edit system ntp server address]
    
    user@host# set version version
    
    
    
  3. (Optional) If you configure more than one time server, specify whether this server is to be contacted first for synchronization.
  4. [edit system ntp server address]
    
    user@host# set prefer
