Description
Indicates the NTP mode operation. Possible modes are:

Enabled: Enable NTP mode operation. When NTP mode operation is
enabled, the agent forwards NTP messages between the clients and the
server when they are not on the same subnet domain.

Disabled: Disable NTP mode operation.
Allow select the time zone according to current location of switch.
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 appear only once. It can also represent a legally valid
IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'.
