Configuring NTP
7
Configuring the NTP peer
To configure the software clock to synchronize a peer or to be synchronized by a peer, use the peer
command. A maximum of 8 NTP peers can be configured. To disable this capability, use the no
form of this command.
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.2.3.4 key 1234
Syntax: [no] peer ipv4 address | ipv6 address [version 3|4] [key key id] [minpoll interval] [maxpoll
interval]
The ipv4 address | ipv6 address parameter is the IP address of the peer providing the clock
synchronization.
The version 3|4 option defines the Network Time Protocol (NTP) version number. If this option is
not specified, then it defaults to 4.
The key key id option defines the authentication key. By default, no authentication key is
configured.
The minpoll interval option is the shortest polling interval. The range is from 4 through 17. Default is
6. The interval argument is power of 2 (4=16s, 5=32s, 6=64s, 7=128s, 8=256s, 9=512s etc.).
The maxpoll interval option is the longest polling interval. The range is 4 through 17. Default is 10.
The interval argument is calculated by the power of 2 (4=16s, 5=32s, 6=64s, 7=128s, 8=256s,
9=512s etc.).
Configuring NTP on an interface
To configure the NTP interface context, use the ntp-interface command. The broadcast server or
client is configured on selected interfaces. To remove the NTP broadcast configurations on the
specified interface, use the no form of this command.
NOTE
The ntp-interface command is a mode change command, and will not be included in to the show run
output unless there is configuration below that interface.
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ethernet 2/13
Brocade(config-ntp-if-e1000-2/13)#
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface management 1
(config-ntp-mgmt-1)#
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ve 100
Brocade(config-ntp-ve-100)#
Syntax: [no] ntp-interface [management 1 | ethernet slot/port | ve id ]
The management 1 parameter is the management port 1
The ethernet slot/port parameter specifies the ethernet port number.
The ve id parameter specifies the virtual port number.
