Configuring NTP Broadcast Mode on a C Series Controller (SRC CLI)

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


            
               system ntp broadcast  address  {
               
               ttl  ttl ;
               
               version  version ;
               
               }

To configure NTP to operate in broadcast mode:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures NTP broadcast, and specify the broadcast address on one of the local networks or a multicast address assigned to NTP. You can specify an IP address or a hostname.
We recommend that you use the multicast address 224.0.1.1 because the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns this address for NTP; however, you can use a different address for local deployments.

[edit system ntp] user@host# edit broadcast address

For example, to specify the broadcast address of 244.0.1.1:

[edit system ntp] user@host# edit broadcast 224.0.1.1 [edit system ntp broadcast 224.0.1.1] user@host#
(Optional) Specify the version of NTP to be used for outgoing packets.
[edit system ntp broadcast address ] user@host# set version version
(Optional) Specify the time-to-live value to transmit.
[edit system ntp server address ] user@host# set ttl ttl
