Otherwise, a symmetric-passive peer does not process NTP messages from a symmetric-active peer.
• Either the symmetric-active peer or the symmetric-passive peer must be in synchronized state.
Otherwise, clock synchronization does not proceed.
To specify a symmetric-passive peer on the active peer:

IP address of the local clock.
You can configure multiple servers
by repeating the command. The
