Configure NTP broadcasts
With FTOS, you can receive broadcasts of time information. You can set interfaces within the system to 
receive NTP information through broadcast.
To configure an interface to receive NTP broadcasts, use the following commands in the INTERFACE 
mode:
Disable NTP on an interface
By default, NTP is enabled on all active interfaces. If you disable NTP on an interface, FTOS drops any 
NTP packets sent to that interface.
