ntp

Required Command-Line Mode = Configure

Required User Level = Admin

Use the ntp command to configure persistent synchronization of the GigaVUE HC Series node’s system clock with an NTP server. Separate arguments let you add servers and enable the use of NTP generally. You can also use the ntpdate command to perform one-time synchronization of the system clock. Refer to ntpdate for more information.

The ntp command has the following syntax:

ntp
   authentication enable
   authentication-key <key number>
   disable
   enable
   server <hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address> [disable | key <key number> | keys enable | version <version
      number>]

The following table describes the arguments for the ntp command:

Argument

Adds an NTP server to the GigaVUE HC Seriesnode’s list. The arguments are as follows:

● hostname—Specifies a DNS name of the server, such as: time.windows.com
