ntp set server
486 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
ntp set server
Purpose
Specifies the NTP server against which the SSR is to synchronize its clock.
Format
ntp set server <host> [interval <minutes>] [source <ipaddr>] [version <num>]
Mode
Configure
Description
The ntp set server command instructs the SSR’s NTP client to periodically synchronize its
clock. By default, the SSR specifies an NTPv3 client that sends a synchronization packet to
the server every 60 minutes. This means the SSR will attempt to set its own clock against
the server once every hour. The synchronization interval as well as the NTP version
number can be changed.
Note:
To ensure that NTP has the correct time, you need to specify the time zone, as
well. You can set the time zone by using the system set timezone command.
When specifying daylight saving time, you’ll need to use the system set daylight-
saving command.
Parameters
server <host> Specifies the hostname or the IP address of the NTP server.
interval <minutes> Specifies how often (in minutes) the SSR should synchronize with the
server. The default synchronization interval is 60 minutes. Valid
interval is between 1 minute to 10080 minutes (7 days).
source <ipaddr> Specifies the source IP address to be used by the SSR for sending the
NTP packet. The IP address must belong to one of the interfaces on
the SSR.
version <num> Specifies the NTP version number of the packet. The default version
number is 3 (NTPv3). Valid value is 1-3.
