host1:boston(config)#ntp server enable
â– Use the no version to prevent a virtual router from acting as an NTP server.
â– See ntp server enable.
Configuration Examples
The following examples show how to configure the system as an NTP client and an
NTP server.
Example 1 NTP communications are established on the virtual router boston. The system is a
client of the NTP server with IP address 172.16.5.1.
host1#virtual-router boston
host1:boston#ping 172.16.5.1
Sending 5 ICMP echos to 172.16.5.1, timeout = 2 sec.
.....
Success rate = 100% (0/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
host1:boston#configure terminal
host1:boston(config)#ntp server 172.16.5.1
host1:boston(config)#ntp enable
Example 2 NTP communications are established on the virtual router boston. The system is
specified as an NTP server.
host1#virtual-router boston
host1:boston#configure terminal
host1:boston(config)#ntp server
Example 3 NTP communications are established on the virtual router boston. The router is
specified as an NTP broadcast server and synchronizes with NTP server 172.16.5.1.
The specified interface enabled for NTP broadcasting is configured with version 4
and poll interval 5 for broadcasting NTP messages.
host1#virtual-router boston
host1:boston#configure terminal
host1:boston#ntp enable
host1:boston(config)#ntp server 172.16.5.1
host1:boston(config)#interface fastethernet 9/3
host1:boston(config-if)#ntp broadcast 4 5
NOTE: In Example 3, the router that acts as the NTP broadcast server must either
synchronize to another server or master (specified by the ntp server command) or
act as master (ntp master command).
