Information
You can configure multiple time serving hosts (up to 250). From these time serving hosts, the FTOS
chooses one NTP host with which to synchronize. To determine which server was selected, use the
show ntp associations.
Because a large number of polls to NTP hosts can impact network performance, Dell Force10
recommends limiting the number of hosts configured.
