
operation, the agent forward and transfer NTP messages between the
clients and the server when they are not on the same subnet domain.
Disabled: Disable NTP mode operation.

Provide the NTP IPv4 or IPv6 address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit
records represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon
separating each field (:).
For example, 'fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol '::' is a special syntax that
can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of
contiguous zeros, but it can only appear once. It also uses a legal IPv4 address
like '::192.1.2.34'.
