set ntp

Enables or disables the NTP client on an MX.

Syntax

set ntp {enable | disable}

Defaults

The NTP client is disabled by default.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.

Usage

If NTP is configured on a system whose current time differs from the NTP server time by

more than 10 minutes, convergence of the MX time can take many NTP update intervals. It is

recommended that you set the time manually to the NTP server time before enabling NTP to

avoid a significant delay in convergence.

Examples

The following command enables the NTP client:

MX# set ntp enable

success: NTP Client enabled
