It works per default. you don't need to activate it at the server. Only at the ntp clients you configure the 6860 as server. you can check at the server with show ntp server client-list.

This mean no need any configuration in 6860E (192.168.60.1) right?
So what about other client ntp switches, can I do as below:
Code: Select all
ntp server 192.168.60.1
ntp client enable
Is this enough?

Yes, this is enough.
Sometimes it will be better to allow "ntp server unsynchronized"
Disables an NTP client from invoking tests for NTP server synchronization. This allows the NTP client to synchronize with unsynchronized NTP servers in the network.

I'm thankful to your advice with "ntp server unsyncronized" for the OS64xx- and 685x-switches. But in my opinion the OS6860 and OS6900 have RTC and for security reasons wouldn't it be better to don't trust any unsychronized ntp server more than our built-in RTC...?
