Configuring the Source IP Address for NTP Packets
When the WMIC sends an NTP packet, the source IP address is normally set to the address of the
interface through which the NTP packet is sent. Use the ntp source global configuration command when
you want to use a particular source IP address for all NTP packets. The address is taken from the
specified interface. This command is useful if the address on an interface cannot be used as the
destination for reply packets.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a specific interface from which the
IP source address is to be taken:
The specified interface is used for the source address for all packets sent to all destinations. If a source
address is to be used for a specific association, use the source keyword in the ntp peer or ntp server
global configuration command as described in the “Configuring NTP Associations” section on
page 3-11.
Displaying the NTP Configuration
You can use two privileged EXEC commands to display NTP information:
• show ntp associations [detail]
• show ntp status
For detailed information about the fields in these displays, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration
Fundamentals Command Reference for Release 12.1.
