Configure an interface on the
local switch to send NTP
messages
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.
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.
