whether an existing neighbor configuration can be used as is, if an existing configuration

designation, IP address, version, authentication key ID and preferred source designation.

IP Address/Hostname Displays the numeric IP address of the resource (peer or server) providing switch
SNTP resources. Ensure the server is on the same subnet as the switch to provide
SNTP support.
Neighbor Type Displays whether the NTP resource is a Peer (another associated peer device
capable of SNTP support) or a Server (a dedicated NTP server resource). This
designation is made when adding or editing an NTP neighbor.
Key ID Displays whether AutoKey Authentication or Symmetric Key Authentication is used
to secure the interaction between the switch and its NTP resource. This
designation is made when adding or editing an NTP neighbor.
Preferred Source Displays whether this NTP resource is a preferred NTP resource. Preferred sources
(those with a checkmark) are contacted before non-preferred resources. There can
be more than one preferred source.
NTP Version Displays a NTP version between 1 and 4. Currently version three and four
implementations of NTP are available. The latest version is NTPv4, but the official
Internet standard is NTPv3.
