Managing NTP Broadcast/Multicast Addresses

When broadcast or multicast addresses for known NTP servers are configured, the NTP daemon monitors
advertisements from each address and chooses the server with the lowest stratum to use as the NTP host. This
is opposed to manually configuring a list of servers or peers.
The following sections describe how to configure and manage broadcast and multicast addresses for an NTP
server:
• Section 5.12.12.1, "Viewing a List of Broadcast/Multicast Addresses"
• Section 5.12.12.2, "Adding a Broadcast/Multicast Address"
• Section 5.12.12.3, "Deleting a Broadcast/Multicast Address"
Section 5.12.12.1

Viewing a List of Broadcast/Multicast Addresses
