Context config>system>time>ntp
Description Platforms Supported: 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-E.
This command configures the node to transmit NTP packets on a given interface. Broadcast and
multicast messages can easily be spoofed, thus, authentication is strongly recommended.
The no form of this command removes the address from the configuration.
Parameters router — Specifies the router name used to transmit NTP packets. Base is the default and the only
router name supported currently.
Values Base
Default Base
ip-int-name — Specifies the local interface on which to transmit NTP broadcast packets. If the string
contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double
quotes.
Values 32 character maximum
key-id key-id — Identifies the configured authentication key and authentication type used by this
node to receive and transmit NTP packets to and from an NTP server and peers. If an NTP packet
is received by this node both authentication key and authentication type must be valid otherwise
the packet will be rejected and an event/trap generated.
Values 1 — 255
Default none
version version — Specifies the NTP version number that is generated by this node. This parameter
does not need to be configured when in client mode in which case all versions will be accepted.
Values 2 — 4
