Chapter 7 NTP Configuration Commands

Parameter
None
Description
Use the
ntp-service broadcast-client
command to configure NTP broadcast client
mode.
Use the
undo ntp-service broadcast-client
command to disable the NTP broadcast
client mode.
By default, the NTP broadcast client mode is disabled.
Designate an interface on the local Ethernet Switch to receive NTP broadcast
messages and operate in broadcast client mode. The local Ethernet Switch listens to
the broadcast from the server. When it receives the first broadcast packet, it starts a
brief Client/Server mode to switch messages with a remote server for estimating the
network delay. Thereafter, the local Ethernet Switch enters Broadcast Client mode and
continues listening to the broadcast and synchronizes the local clock according to the
arrived broadcast message.
