Brocade(config-ntp)# server 11::1/64
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.100.12.18
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.100.12.20
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.100.12.67
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.100.12.83
NTP client mode configuration
Sample CLI commands to configure the Brocade device in NTP client mode.

Brocade(config-ntp)# server 11::1/24
Brocade(config-ntp)# peer 10.100.12.83
Brocade(config-ntp)# disable serve
NTP strict authentication configuration
Sample CLI commands to configure the Brocade device in strict authentication mode.
Brocade(config-ntp)# authenticate

Brocade(config)#int management 1
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)#ip address 10.20.99.173/24
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)#ntp
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface management 1
Brocade(config-ntp-mgmt-1)# broadcast destination 10.23.45.128
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ethernet 1/3
Brocade(config-ntp-if-e1000-1/3)# broadcast destination 10.1.1.0 key 1
Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ve 100
Brocade(config-ntp-ve-100)# broadcast destination 10.2.2.0 key 23
