Chapter 5 Administering the Switch
Managing the System Time and Date
The access group keywords are scanned in this order, from least restrictive to most r estrictive:
1. peer—Allows time requests and NTP control queries and allows the switch to synchronize itself to
a device whose address passes the access list criteria.
2. serve—Allows time requests and NTP control queries, but does not allow the switch to synchronize
itself to a device whose address passes the access list criteria.
3. serve-only—Allows only time requests from a device whose address passes the access list criteria.
4. query-only—Allows only NTP control queries from a device whose address passes the access l ist
criteria.
If the source IP address matches the access lists for more than one access type, the first type is granted.
If no access groups are specified, all access types are granted to all devices. If any access groups are
specified, only the specified access types are granted.
To remove access control to the switch NTP services, use the no ntp access-group {query-only |
serve-only | serve | peer} global configuration command.
This example shows how to configure the switch to allow itself to synchronize to a peer from access
list 99. However, the switch restricts access to allow only time requests from access list 42:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ntp access-group peer 99
Switch(config)# ntp access-group serve-only 42
Switch(config)# access-list 99 permit 172.20.130.5
Switch(config)# access list 42 permit 172.20.130.6
Step 3 access-list access-list-number permit
source [source-wildcard]
Create the access list.
For access-list-number, enter the number specified in Step 2.
Enter the permit keyword to permit access if the conditions are
matched.
For source, enter the IP address of the device that is permitted access
to the switch.
(Optional) For source-wildcard, enter the wildcard bits to be applied
to the source.
Note When creating an access list, remember that, by default, the end
of the access list contains an implicit deny statement for
everything if it did not find a match before reaching the end.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
