[c-nsp] NTP Server

[Baek, Steven A (US SSA)]

Thanks for the replies. It looks like our Cisco devices aren't going to
be the right solution for this job. An external time source will be used
as a better reference.

Most ntp servers and some clients permit you to monitor several servers.

The ntp clients then will analyze the status of each server, and 
synchronize to the most accurate reliable server. So if the Cisco is not

available, or is unreliable, it will not be used unless all more
reliable 
ones are unavailable.
