12.2.4 Server Function Settings

The Switch is used as a broadcast server to provide time to NTP clients or child NTP servers.

Points to note

Configure the configuration command ntp broadcast to send NTP packets by broadcast on a per-interface basis.

Command examples

1. (config)# interface vlan 300

   (config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

   (config-if)# ntp broadcast

   Configures NTP broadcast for the specified interfaces. When the Switch's time is synchronized with NTP server, it sends NTP broadcast packets to the network with IPv4 address 192.168.1.0 and subnet 255.255.255.0.
