Enabling NTP
To configure NTP for the Matrix X16‐C, enter the following commands at the CLI prompt. The following commands enable the Matrix X16‐C either as an NTP client or server. Specify set ntp client broadcast to accept time synchronization from any NTP server and set ntp client unicast to accept time from a particular server. Alternatively, configure the Matrix X16‐C to accept time synchronization from a particular NTP server (the system must be in unicast mode). You can define up to 10 NTP servers. Optionally, if using multiple NTP servers, use the keyword prefer to specify which NTP server is the preferred server.
