How to configure NTP Server with Cisco switch

In my last post “How to configure NTP Server with Windows Server” I showed how to configure NTP Server with Windows Server. In this post I will show you how to use Cisco switches to accomplish the same task. In fact, it’s much easier to implement it with a Cisco switch.

1. Configuring the switch

WS-C3650#sh run | sec ntp
ntp source GigabitEthernet2/0/6
ntp master
WS-C3650#

2. Verification

I used a WLC as a client to verify time synchronization.

(5508-1) >config time ntp server 1 10.106.32.22
(5508-1) >
(5508-1) >
(5508-1) >show time
