4.3.4 Configuring the Unicast Client/Server Mode

In Client/Server mode, the clock on the client synchronizes with the master clock on the server.
Context
Commonly, specify the IP address of the NTP server on the client. The client and server can
then exchange NTP packets using this IP address.
If the source interface to send NTP packets is specified on the server, the IP address of the server
configured on the client should be the same; otherwise, the client cannot process NTP packets
sent from the server and clock synchronization fails.
