Version
9.5.0

Network time protocol (NTP) service is essential to some of the more complex DNS/DHCP Server and Address Manager functions, such as xHA and DHCP failover, and differential deployment. A specific external time reference is also essential to some organizations for reports and compliance tracking. The NTP services on DNS/DHCP Server act as both a source of NTP synchronization for clients and as clients themselves to another NTP service that synchronizes the clock reference they provide.

Parameters
  • enable—set to true to enable the NTP service; set to false to disable the NTP service.

    • address—enter the fully-qualified domain name or IP address for a remote NTP server from which DNS/DHCP Server will reference the time.
