Configuring NTP Client Mode for a C-series Controller (SRC CLI)

Use the following configuration statements to configure NTP on a C-series Controller to operate in client mode:



system ntp server address{
version version;
prefer;
}

To configure NTP to operate in client mode:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an NTP server, and specify the IP address or hostname of an NTP server.[edit system ntp] user@host# edit server address
For example, to specify an NTP server that has an IP address of 192.0.2.30:
[edit system ntp] user@host# edit server 192.0.2.30 [edit system ntp server 192.0.2.30] user@host#
(Optional) Specify the version of NTP to be used for outgoing packets.[edit system ntp server address ] user@host# set version version
(Optional) If you configure more than one time server, specify whether this server is to be contacted first for synchronization.[edit system ntp server address ] user@host# set prefer
