boot-server (NTP)
Syntax boot-server (address | hostname);
Hierarchy Level [edit system ntp ]
Release Information Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description Configure the server that NTP queries when the router or switch boots to determine the
local date and time.
When you boot the router or switch, it issues an
ntpdate
request, which polls a network
server to determine the local date and time. You need to configure a server that the router
or switch uses to determine the time when the router or switch boots. You can either
configure an IP address or a hostname for the boot server. If you configure a hostname
instead of an IP address, the
ntpdate
request resolves the hostname to an IP address
when the router or switch boots up.
If you configure an NTP boot server, then when the router or switch boots, it immediately
synchronizes with the boot server even if the NTP process is explicitly disabled or if the
time difference between the client and the boot server exceeds the threshold value of
1000 seconds.
