Chapter 4 Administering the Switch
Managing the System Time and Date
shows a typical network example using NTP. Switch A is the NTP master, with Switches B,
C, and D configured in NTP server mode, in server association with Switch A. Switch E is configured
as an NTP peer to the upstream and downstream switches, Switch B and Switch F, respectively.
Figure 4-1
Typical NTP Network Configuration
If the network is isolated from the Internet, Cisco’s implementation of NTP allows a device to act as if
it is synchronized through NTP, when it is not. Other devices then synchronize to that device through
NTP.
NTP time overrides the time set by any other method.
Several manufacturers include NTP software for their host systems, and a public version for systems
running UNIX and its various derivatives is also available. This software allows host systems to be
synchronized as well.
