Expected Results
  • Success: The test will pass if the Primary NTP server (marked as preferred) has the condition ‘sys.peer’ and all other NTP servers have the condition ‘candidate’.

Inputs

Name Type Description Default

List of NTP servers.
-

NTPServer

Name Type Description Default
server_address Hostname | IPv4Address
The NTP server address as an IPv4 address or hostname. The NTP server name defined in the running configuration of the device may change during DNS resolution, which is not handled in ANTA. Please provide the DNS-resolved server name. For example, 'ntp.example.com' in the configuration might resolve to 'ntp3.example.com' in the device output.
-
preferred bool
Optional preferred for NTP server. If not provided, it defaults to `False`.
False
stratum int
NTP stratum level (0 to 15) where 0 is the reference clock and 16 indicates unsynchronized. Values should be between 0 and 15 for valid synchronization and 16 represents an out-of-sync state.
Field(ge=0, le=16)
