Configuring An Ntp Multicast Client; Configuring Ntp On A Secondary (Non-Default) Vdc - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring an NTP Multicast Client

This example shows how to configure an Ethernet interface to send NTP multicast packets:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet2/2
switch(config-if)# ntp multicast FF02::1:FF0E:8C6C
Configuring an NTP Multicast Client
You can configure an NTP multicast client on an interface. The device then listens to NTP multicast messages
and discards any messages that come from an interface for which multicast is not configured.
Before You Begin
Use the switchto vdc command to switch to the desired nondefault VDC
