Configuring NTP Broadcast Mode on a C-series Controller with the SRC CLI
Use the following configuration statements to configure NTP on a C-series Controller to operate in broadcast mode:
system ntp broadcastaddress
{ttlttl
;versionversion
;}To configure NTP to operate in broadcast mode:
- From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures NTP broadcast, and specify the broadcast address on one of the local networks or a multicast address assigned to NTP. You can specify an IP address or a hostname.
We recommend that you use the multicast address 224.0.1.1 because the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns this address for NTP; however, you can use a different address for local deployments.
[edit system ntp]user@host#edit broadcast
address
For example, to specify the broadcast address of 244.0.1.1:
[edit system ntp]user@host#edit broadcast 224.0.1.1
[edit system ntp broadcast 224.0.1.1]user@host#
- (Optional) Specify the version of NTP to be used for outgoing packets.
[edit system ntp broadcastaddress
]user@host#set
version version- (Optional) Specify the time-to-live value to transmit.
[edit system ntp serveraddress
]user@host#set ttl
