Note

This module is part of the dellemc.enterprise_sonic collection (version 2.4.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc.enterprise_sonic.

To use it in a playbook, specify: dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_ntp.

Synopsis 

This module provides configuration management of NTP for devices running SONiC.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	Specifies NTP related configurations.
enable_ntp_auth boolean	Enable or disable NTP authentication. Choices: `false` `true`
ntp_keys list / elements=dictionary	List of NTP authentication keys.
encrypted boolean	NTP authentication key_value is encrypted. encrypted can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “encrypted” is required. Choices: `false` `true`
key_id integer / required	NTP authentication key identifier.
key_type string	NTP authentication key type. key_type can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “key_type” is required. Choices: `"NTP_AUTH_SHA1"` `"NTP_AUTH_MD5"` `"NTP_AUTH_SHA2_256"`
key_value string	NTP authentication key value. key_value can not be deleted. When “state” is “merged”, “key_value” is required.
servers list / elements=dictionary	List of NTP servers. minpoll and maxpoll are required to be configured together.
address string / required	IPv4/IPv6 address or host name of NTP server.
key_id integer	NTP authentication key used by server. Key_id can not be deleted.
maxpoll integer	Maximum poll interval to poll NTP server. maxpoll can not be deleted.
minpoll integer	Minimum poll interval to poll NTP server. minpoll can not be deleted.
prefer boolean	Indicates whether this server should be preferred. prefer can not be deleted. Choices: `false` `true`
source_interfaces list / elements=string	List of names of NTP source interfaces.
trusted_keys list / elements=integer	List of trusted NTP authentication keys.
vrf string	VRF name on which NTP is enabled.
state string	The state of the configuration after module completion. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"`

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The resulting configuration model invocation. Returned: when changed Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
after(generated) list / elements=string	The generated configuration model invocation. Returned: when `check_mode` Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
before list / elements=string	The configuration prior to the model invocation. Returned: always Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: `["command 1", "command 2", "command 3"]`
