system/ntp/client/servers

Type: Directory

NTP servers of the client. Static entries are added here or with servers in /system/ntp/client; entries learned from DHCP (when the DHCP client has use-peer-ntp=yes) are dynamic. See the NTP guide.

Flag	Name	Description
X	disabled	The entry is disabled.
D	dynamic	Dynamic entry, learned from DHCP. Dynamic entries cannot be edited.

Argument	Type	Description
address ( mandatory )	address (flags=46D)	IP address or domain name of the NTP server. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can carry a @vrf suffix, and a link-local IPv6 address an %interface suffix. Domain names are resolved with /ip/dns; the result shows in resolved-address.
min-poll	num	Shortest interval between queries to this server, as the power of 2 in seconds (6 means every 64 s). Must be lower than max-poll. Range: 3..17. Default: 6.
max-poll	num	Longest interval between queries to this server, as the power of 2 in seconds (10 means every 1024 s). Range: 3..17. Default: 10.
iburst	bool	When enabled, the client sends a burst of about a second interval queries right after the server is added, to get an initial estimate quickly. Default: yes.
auth-key	enum (none) { none:0 }	Key from /system/ntp/key used to authenticate replies from this server. Replies that fail authentication are rejected (crypto NAK) and the client does not synchronize. Default: none.

Read-only Argument	Type	Description
resolved-address	address (flags=46)	IP address that the domain name in address resolved to.
