  • 1.  NTP server x.x.x.x prefer

    Posted 8 days ago

    Hi everyone,

    I am wondering what the below command do:

    set system ntp server 99.99.99.1 prefer

    set system ntp server 99.99.99.2

    I thought if there are multiple NTP severs like above, JUNOS will pick the one with prefer . In order to prove this, I set up this lab:

    MX is configured with following NTP:

    But vMX has selected 99.99.99.2 not 99.99.99.1 even though 99.99.99.1 is stratum 1 and is configured with " Prefer" as shown  below

    What is exactly the selection criteria vMX is using to select NTP server above?

    Much appreciated!!
