Configuring Access Control Right 375
Configuring a switch to work in the multicast client mode
Configuring Access
Control Right
With the following command, you can configure the NTP service access-control
right to the local switch for a peer device. There are four access-control rights, as
follows:
■ query: Control query right. This level of right permits the peer device to
perform control query to the NTP service on the local device but does not
permit the peer device to synchronize its clock to the local device. The so-called
"control query" refers to query of state of the NTP service, including alarm
information, authentication status, clock source information, and so on.
■ synchronization: Synchronization right. This level of right permits the peer
device to synchronize its clock to the local switch but does not permit the peer
device to perform control query.
■ server: Server right. This level of right permits the peer device to perform
synchronization and control query to the local switch but does not permit the
local switch to synchronize its clock to the peer device.
■ peer: Peer access. This level of right permits the peer device to perform
synchronization and control query to the local switch and also permits the local
switch to synchronize its clock to the peer device.
From the highest NTP service access-control right to the lowest one are peer,
server, synchronization, and query. When a device receives an NTP request, it
will perform an access-control right match in this order and use the first matched
right.
Configuration
Prerequisites
Prior to configuring the NTP service access-control right to the local switch for peer
devices, you need to create and configure an ACL associated with the
access-control right. To configure an ACL, refer to
“ACL Configuration” on
page 291.
