HP VPN Firewall Appliances System Management and Maintenance Command Reference

138
Default command level
3: Manage level
Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.
Usage guidelines
If you do not want the IP address of a certain interface on the local device to become the destination
address of response messages, use this command to specify the source interface for NTP messages so
that the source IP address in NTP messages is the primary IP address of this interface.
If the specified source interface goes down, NTP searches the routing table for the outgoing interface,
and uses the primary IP address of the outgoing interface as the source IP address.
Examples
# Specify the source interface of NTP messages as GigabitEthernet 0/1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ntp-service source-interface gigabitethernet 0/1
ntp-service unicast-peer
Use ntp-service unicast-peer to designate a symmetric-passive peer for the device.
Use undo ntp-service unicast-peer to remove the symmetric-passive peer designated for the device.
Syntax
ntp-service unicast-peer [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] { ip-address | peer-name }
[ authentication-keyid keyid | priority | source-interface interface-type interface-number | version
number ] *
undo ntp-service unicast-peer [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] { ip-address | peer-name }
Default
No symmetric-passive peer is designated for the device.

Parameters
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the symmetric-passive peer belongs, where
vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the symmetric-passive peer is on the
public network, do not specify this option.
ip-address: IP address of the symmetric-passive peer. It must be a unicast address, rather than a
broadcast address, a multicast address or the IP address of the local clock.
peer-name: Host name of the symmetric-passive peer, a string of 1 to 20 characters.
authentication-keyid keyid: Specifies the key ID to be used for sending NTP messages to the peer, where
keyid is in the range of 1 to 4294967295.
priority: Specifies the peer designated by ip-address or peer-name as the first choice under the same
condition.
