boot-server (NTP)

Syntax

boot-server address;

Hierarchy Level

[edit system ntp]

Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Configure the server that NTP queries when the router boots to determine the local date and time.

When you boot the router, it issues an ntpdate request, which polls a network server to determine the local date and time. You need to configure a server that the router uses to determine the time when the router boots. Otherwise, NTP will not be able to synchronize to a time server if the server’s time appears to be very far off of the local router’s time.

Options

address—Address of an NTP server. You must specify an address, not a hostname.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring the NTP Boot Server.

Required Privilege Level

system—To view this statement in the configuration.

system-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
