NTP CFS Distribution

You can enable NTP fabric distribution for all Cisco MDS switches in the fabric. When you perform NTP
configurations, and distribution is enabled, the entire server/peer configuration is distributed to all the
switches in the fabric.
You automatically acquire a fabric-wide lock when you issue the first configuration command after you
enabled distribution in a switch. The NTP application uses the effective and pending database model to
store or commit the commands based on your configuration.
