Enabling NTP Services

Before you can configure NTP client parameters or enable a virtual router to act as an NTP server, you must enable NTP services. When you enable NTP services, the NTP client associates itself with the current virtual router. Because there is only one system clock to update, only the virtual router on which you configure NTP can act as the NTP client. However, any virtual router can act as an NTP server. To enable NTP services:

1. (Optional) Access the virtual router with which you want to associate NTP services.
2. Issue the ntp enable command.

ntp enable

• Use to enable NTP services on the system.
• This command associates NTP services and the NTP client with the current virtual router.
• Example

  host1:boston(config)#ntp enable

• Use the no version to disable NTP polling and clock correction and to remove the association between NTP services and the virtual router.
• See ntp enable.
