Configuring TimeKeeper as an NTP Time Server

Similar to the concept of PTP masters as an external reference, TimeKeeper allows external NTP
servers to be used by the system as a synchronization source if NTP is an entry in the reference
priority table (it is by default), and no other reference set as a higher priority is available for
synchronization. No configuration is required other than setting up NTP Sources.
For more information on reference priorities, see "Input Reference Priorities" on page 155.
There is no configuration required of TimeKeeper to respond to NTP client requests that arrive
at any available network ports.

the TimeKeeper network synchronization service.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: NTP Setup .
In the panel NTP Servers , click the GEAR icon in the top-right corner to open the EDIT or
ADD window (the options will change, depending on your current NTP configuration).
