Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)

NTP Quick Steps

OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide

page 3-3

The following steps are designed to show the user the necessary commands to set up NTP on an 
OmniSwitch:

1 Designate an NTP server for the switch using the 

 command. The NTP server provides the 

switch with its NTP time information. For example:

-> ntp server 1.2.5.6

2 Activate the client side of NTP on the switch using the 

 command. For example:

-> ntp client enable

3 You can check the server status using the 

 command, as shown:

-> show ntp server status

IP address = 1.2.5.6

Prefer = yes

Version = 4

Key = 0

Stratum = 2

Minpoll = 6

Maxpoll = 10

Delay = 0.016 seconds

Offset = -0.700 seconds

Dispersion = 0.017 seconds

4 You can check the list of servers associated with this client using the 

 

command as shown:

-> show ntp client server-list
