Edition: 01 3HE 16132 AAAB TQZZA 439
Supported
Platforms
Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms
configured in the access-uplink operating mode
Description This command configures symmetric active mode for an NTP 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 this command removes the configured peer.
Parameters ip-address — Specifies the IP address of the peer that requires a peering relationship to
be set up.
key-id key-id — Specifies the key-id that identifies the configured authentication key and
authentication type used by this node to transmit NTP packets to an NTP peer.
Successful authentication requires that both peers must have configured the same
authentication key ID, type and key value.
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.
Values 1 to 255
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
three nodes are accepted.
Default 4
Values 2 to 4
prefer — Specifies the preferred peer. When configuring more than one peer, one
remote system can be configured as the preferred peer. When a second peer is
configured as preferred, the new entry overrides the old entry.
