Field Reference
Table60-41 NTP Page
Element Description
Source Interface The source address for all packets sent to an NTP server. This setting
might be necessary when the NTP server cannot respond to the address
from which the packet originated (for example, due to a firewall). The
source interface must have an IP address.
If you do not define a value in this field, the address of the outgoing
interface is used.
Enter the name of an interface or interface role, or click Select to select
the object from a list or to create a new one.
Note The source interface defined in this field is a global setting that
you can override for individual NTP servers. For more
information, see NTP Server Dialog Box, page 60-99.
