NTP
RATE-LIMIT
ntp rate-limit
Overview Use this command to enable NTP server response rate-limiting. Limiting NTP
server responses can reduce network traffic when occurrences such as
misconfigured or broken NTP clients poll the NTP server too frequently. Excessive
polling can lead to network overload.
Use the no variant of this command to remove the rate-limit configuration.
