Chapter 9. Network Time Protocol
...synchronizing the system clock with an external reference
9.1. NTP Introduction
Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes the clocks of computer systems communicating in packet-
switched, variable-latency data networks. NTP uses UDP port 123 for its transport layer. NTP avoids large
time jumps, reversals, and other discontinuities by adjusting the clock incrementally. It makes backward
time adjustments by slowing the system clock until the time is correct.
9.2. NTP Server Hosts
NTP requires at least one "upstream" server to synchronize the local time. Add an NTP server host to
the EM316LNXNM with the "
ntp-server host A.B.C.D
" command from the main configuration
context. "
A.B.C.D
" represents the IP address of the added NTP server.
fiberdriver# configure terminal
fiberdriver(config)# ntp-server host A.B.C.D
fiberdriver(config)#
Use one of the many public servers that offer NTP if you do not have any local NTP servers. Avoid using
more than five servers.
Check that the NTP servers are added correctly with the "
show ntp-server hosts
" command from
the main configuration context.
fiberdriver(config)# show ntp-server hosts
ntp-server host 192.168.14.98
ntp-server host 192.168.14.106
ntp-server host 10.1.1.8
fiberdriver(config)#
9.3. Enabling/Disabling NTP
NTP is disabled by default. After adding the NTP server hosts and verifying them, enable NTP from the
main configuration context with the "
ntp
" command. Add the server hosts before enabling NTP so that
the system can set the time most accurately when NTP starts up.
fiberdriver(config)# ntp
fiberdriver(config)#
Disable NTP at any time with the "
no ntp
" command from the main configuration context. The
EM316LNXNM clock may gradually gain or lose accuracy without synchronization.
fiberdriver(config)# no ntp
fiberdriver(config)#
