no peer ip-address
Context config>system>time>ntp
Description Configuration of an NTP peer configures symmetric active mode for the configured peer. Although
any system can be configured to peer with any other NTP node it is recommended to configure
authentication and to configure known time servers as their peers.
The no form of the command removes the configured peer.
Parameters ip-address — Configure the IP address of the peer that requires a peering relationship to be set up.
This is a required parameter.
Default None
Values Any valid IP-address
key-id key-id — Successful authentication requires that both peers must have configured the same
authentication key-id, type and key value.
Specify the key-id that identifies the configured authentication key and authentication type used
by this node to transmit NTP packets to an NTP peer. If an NTP packet is received by this node,
the authentication key-id, type, and key value must be valid otherwise the packet will be rejected
and an event/trap generated.
Default None
Values 1 — 255
version version — Specify 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 three nodes are accepted.
Default 4
Values 2 — 4
prefer — When configuring more than one peer, one remote system can be configured as the
preferred peer. When a second peer is configured as preferred, then the new entry overrides the
old entry.
