parallel client continues to look for more NTP servers by sending multicast messages

periodically.

Client

system ntp client

Property Description

enabled (yes | no; default: no) - whether the NTP client is enabled or not

mode (unicast | broadcast | multicast | manycast; default: unicast) - NTP client mode

primary-ntp (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - specifies IP address of the primary NTP server

secondary-ntp (IP address; default: 0.0.0.0) - specifies IP address of the secondary NTP server

status (read-only: text) - status of the NTP client:

• stopped - NTP is not running (NTP is disabled)

• error - there was some internal error starting NTP service (please, try to restart (disable and

enable) NTP service)

• started - NTP client service is started, but NTP server is not found, yet

• failed - NTP server sent invalid response to our NTP client (NTP server is not synchronized to

some other time source)

• reached - NTP server contacted. Comparing local clock to NTP server's clock (duration of this

phase is approximately 30s)

• timeset - local time changed to NTP server's time (duration of this phase is approximately 30s)

• synchronized - local clock is synchronized to NTP server's clock. NTP server is activated

• using-local-clock - using local clock as time source (server enabled while client disabled)

Example

To enable the NTP client to synchronize with the 159.148.60.2 server:

[admin@Wandy] system ntp client> set enabled=yes primary-ntp=159.148.60.2

[admin@Wandy] system ntp client> print

enabled: yes

mode: unicast

primary-ntp: 159.148.60.2

secondary-ntp: 0.0.0.0

status: synchronized

[admin@Wandy] system ntp client>

Server

system ntp server

Property Description

enabled (yes | no; default: no) - whether the NTP client is enabled

broadcast (yes | no; default: no) - whether NTP broadcast message is sent to 255.255.255.255

every 64s

multicast (yes | no; default: no) - whether NTP multicast message is sent to 224.0.1.1 every 64s

manycast (yes | no; default: yes) - whether NTP server listens for multicast messages sent to
