Enabling NTP
To configure NTP for the Matrix X16‐C, enter the following commands at the CLI prompt. The
following commands enable the Matrix X16‐C either as an NTP client or server. Specify set ntp
client broadcast to accept time synchronization from any NTP server and set ntp client unicast to
accept time from a particular server. Alternatively, configure the Matrix X16‐C to accept time
synchronization from a particular NTP server (the system must be in unicast mode). You can
define up to 10 NTP servers. Optionally, if using multiple NTP servers, use the keyword prefer to
specify which NTP server is the preferred server.

Set the round‐trip broadcast delay for NTP broadcast frames, ranging from 1 to 999999
microseconds. This delay is meant for NTP running on high‐speed LANs with many hosts and
where the greatest accuracy is not required.
