1.6.1 Configuring an Interface on the Local Switch to Send NTP messages

the local switch to send
NTP messages
Caution:
If you have specified an interface in the ntp-service unicast-server or ntp-service
unicast-peer command, this interface will be used for sending NTP messages.
1.6.2 Configuring the Number of Dynamic Sessions Allowed on the Local
Switch
A single device can have a maximum of 128 associations at the same time, including
static associations and dynamic associations. A static association refers to an
association that a user has manually created by using an NTP command, while a
dynamic association is a temporary association created by the system during operation.
A dynamic association will be removed if the system fails to receive messages from it
over a specific long time. In the server/client mode, for example, when you carry out a
command to synchronize the time to a server, the system will create a static association,
and the server will just respond passively upon the receipt of a message, rather than
creating an association (static or dynamic). In the symmetric mode, static associations
will be created at the symmetric-active peer side, and dynamic associations will be
created at the symmetric-passive peer side; In the broadcast or multicast mode, static
associations will be created at the server side, and dynamic associations will be
created at the client side.
