Implementing NTP on Cisco IOS XR Software

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol designed to time-synchronize devices within a network. The Cisco IOS XR software implements NTPv4. NTPv4 retains backwards compatibility with the older versions of NTP, including NTPv3 and NTPv2 but excluding NTPv1, which has been discontinued due to security vulnerabilities.

This module describes the new and revised tasks you need to implement NTP on your Cisco IOS XR network.

Note For more information about NTP on the Cisco IOS XR software and complete descriptions of the NTP commands listed in this module, you can refer to the “Related Documents” section of this module. To locate documentation for other commands that might appear in the course of running a configuration task, search online in the Cisco IOS XR software master command index.
