4.3 Configuring Basic NTP Functions

This section describes how to configure basic NTP functions, including the NTP operating
modes.

4.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring basic NTP functions, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete
the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
NTP has the following operation modes:
l
l
l
l
l
In actual applications, a proper operation mode needs to be selected according to the networking
topology to meet various clock synchronization requirements.
For the unicast Client/Sever mode and the peer mode, all the NTP packets sent locally can have
the same interface IP address as the source IP address.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring basic functions of NTP, you need to complete the following tasks:
