Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A maximum of 128 sessions can be established on the same device running the NTP service in the same period, including static and dynamic sessions. In both unicast server/client mode and symmetric peer mode, command lines are used to establish static sessions. The dynamic sessions are established in broadcast mode or multicast mode.

Excessive dynamic sessions directly affect the establishment of static sessions. A user can limit the number of local dynamic sessions solve this problem.

Precautions

When the number of local dynamic sessions on the device is limited:

This command limits the number of only dynamic sessions, not static sessions.
NTP dynamic sessions established are not affected. That is, when the number of the dynamic sessions exceeds the limit, the dynamic sessions established are not deleted, but a new dynamic session cannot be established.
The limit on the number of local dynamic sessions allowed should be configured on the client because the server does not record the number of the established NTP sessions.

Example

# Set the maximum number of NTP dynamic sessions that can be set up to 50.
