If you do not want the IP address of an interface on the local device to become the destination address
for response messages, use this command.
If you have specified the source interface for NTP messages in the ntp-service unicast-server or
•
ntp-service unicast-peer command, the interface specified in the ntp-service unicast-server or
ntp-service unicast-peer command serves as the source interface for NTP messages.
If you have configured the ntp-service broadcast-server or ntp-service multicast-server command,
•
the source interface for the broadcast or multicast NTP messages is the interface configured with the
respective command.
If the specified source interface is down, the device searches the routing table for the outbound
•
interface, and uses the primary IP address of the outbound interface as the source IP address for
NTP messages.
Examples
# Specify the source interface for NTP messages as VLAN-interface 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ntp-service source vlan-interface 1

Use the ntp-service unicast-peer command to specify a symmetric-passive peer for the device.
Use the undo ntp-service unicast-peer command to remove the symmetric-passive peer specified for the
device.
Syntax
ntp-service unicast-peer { ip-address | peer-name } [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
[ authentication-keyid keyid | priority | source interface-type interface-number | version number ] *
undo ntp-service unicast-peer { ip-address | peer-name } [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
Default
No symmetric-passive peer is specified for the device.

Parameters
ip-address: IP address of the symmetric-passive peer. It must be a unicast address, rather than a
broadcast address, a multicast address or the IP address of the local clock.
peer-name: Host name of the symmetric-passive peer, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 20 characters.
