Configuring the Source IP Address for NTP Packets
By default, the source IP address of an NTP packet sent by the router is the address of the interface through
which the NTP packet is sent. Use this procedure to set a different source address.
No specific command enables NTP; the first NTP configuration command that you issue enables NTP.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Enters NTP configuration mode.
ntp
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# ntp
Step 2
Configures an interface from which the IP source address is taken.
source type interface-path-id
Step 3
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ntp)#
source POS 0/0/0/1
This interface is used for the source address for all packets sent to all
destinations. If a source address is to be used for a specific association,
use the
source
keyword in the
peer
or
server
command shown in
Configuring Poll-Based Associations, on page 147
.

end
•
When you issue the
