To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view

—
Specify the source interface for
NTP messages
ntp-service source-interface
interface-type interface-number
Required
By default, no source interface
is specified for NTP messages,
and the system uses the IP
address of the interface
determined by the matching
route as the source IP address
of NTP messages.
z
If you have specified the source interface for NTP messages in the
ntp-service unicast-server
or
ntp-service unicast-peer
command, the interface specified in the
ntp-service unicast-server
or
ntp-service unicast-peer
command serves as the source interface of NTP messages.
z
If you have configured the
ntp-service
broadcast-server
or
ntp-service
multicast-server
command, the source interface of the broadcast or multicast NTP messages is the interface
configured with the respective command.
z
If the specified source interface for NTP messages is down, the source IP address for an NTP
message that is sent out is the primary IP address of the outgoing interface of the NTP message.
