Step 1
Enters NTP configuration mode.ntp
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# ntp
Step 2
Makes the router an authoritative NTP server.
master stratum
Step 3
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-ntp)#
master 9
Use the master command with caution. It is very easy to override
valid time sources using this command, especially if a low stratum
number is configured. Configuring multiple machines in the same
network with the master command can cause instability in time
keeping if the machines do not agree on the time.
Note
Saves configuration changes.Use one of the following commands:
Step 4
•
end
•
When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit

router to EXEC mode.
or
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-ntp)#
commit
â—¦
Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to
EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes.
