The ve id parameter specifies the virtual port number.
Configuring the broadcast client
To configure a device to receive Network Time Protocol (NTP) broadcast messages on a specified
interface, use the broadcast client command. NTP broadcast client can be enabled on maximum of 16
ethernet interfaces. If the interface is operationally down or NTP is disabled, then the NTP broadcast
server packets are not received. To disable this capability, use the no form of this command.
Brocade(config-ntp mgmt-1)# broadcast client
Syntax: [no] broadcast client
Configuring the broadcast destination
To configure the options for broadcasting Network Time Protocol (NTP) traffic, use the ntp broadcast
destination command. The NTP broadcast server can be enabled on maximum 16 ethernet interfaces
and four subnet addresses per interface. If the interface is operationally down or there is no ip address
configured for the subnet address, then the NTP broadcast server packets are not sent. To disable this
capability, use the no form of this command.
By default, the broadcast mode is not enabled.
NOTE
This command is not effective, if the NTP server is disabled.
Brocade(config)#int m1
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)#ip address 10.20.99.173/24
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)#ntp
Brocade(config-ntp)#ntp-interface m1
Brocade(config-ntp -mgmt-1)# broadcast destination 10.20.99.0 key 2
Syntax: [no] broadcast destination ip-address [ key key-id ] [ version num ]
The ip-address parameter is the IPv4 subnet address of the device to send NTP broadcast messages
to.
The key key-id option defines the authentication key. By default, no authentication key is configured.
The version num option defines the Network Time Protocol (NTP) version number. If this option is not
specified, then the default value is 4.
Displaying NTP status
Use the show ntp status command to display the NTP status.
Brocade#show ntp status
