Chapter 6 Administering the Switch
Managing the System Time and Date
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to receive NTP
broadcast packets from connected peers:
To disable an interface from receiving NTP broadcast packets, use the no ntp broadcast client interface
configuration command. To change the estimated round-trip delay to the default, use the no ntp
broadcastdelay global configuration command.
This example shows how to configure a port to receive NTP broadcast packets:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ntp broadcast client
Configuring NTP Access Restrictions
You can control NTP access on two levels as described in these sections:
• Creating an Access Group and Assigning a Basic IP Access List, page 6-9
