# Configuring an NTP Peer on a C Series Controller (SRC CLI)

Use the following configuration statements to configure NTP on a C Series Controller to operate in symmetric active mode:

`

edit system ntp peer address {
  version version;
  prefer;
}

`

To configure NTP to operate in symmetric active mode:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an NTP peer, and specify the IP address or hostname of an NTP peer.
   `
   [edit system ntp]
   user@host# edit peer address
   `

   For example, to specify an NTP peer that has an IP address of 192.0.2.40:

   `
   [edit system ntp]
   user@host# edit peer 192.0.2.40
   [edit system ntp peer 192.0.2.40]
   user@host#
   `
2. (Optional) Specify the version of NTP to be used for outgoing packets.
   `
   [edit system ntp server address ]
   user@host# set version version
   `
3. (Optional) If you configure more than one peer, specify whether this server is to be contacted first for synchronization.
   `
   [edit system ntp server address ]
   user@host# set prefer
   `
