NTP server

[680702]

hey,all:
I have a switch A that uses another switch B as NTP server. But I can't find any command in B shows it configured as server.

any idea how it works?

thanks,

Henry

A#sh ntp s

It shows that the switch is pointing to 10.10.1.3 as the NTP server it gets its info from---so that tells me 10.10.1.3 IS the NTP server, not the switch. I did not know a Cisco switch could be configured as an NTP server.
