Usage You can configure up to three NTP servers. MSS queries all the servers and selects the best
response based on the method described in RFC 1305, Network Time Protocol (Version 3)
Specification, Implementation and Analysis.
To use NTP, you also must enable the NTP client with the set ntp command.
Examples The following command configures an MX to use NTP server 192.168.1.5:
MX# set ntp server 192.168.1.5
