This is how I understand it....

You use the "ntp server" command in order to indicate that your system
will RECEIVE time from the system you reference in the command.

You use the "ntp peer" command in order to indicate that your system
will SEND and/or RECEIVE time from the system referenced.

It is really quite simple I guess - and the commands seem to make
perfect sense - however, it is clear as mud when you read about these
two commands in the Config Guide of the online docs, unfortunately.

> Hi Ed, Thanks for your response. I did look at that link before. I am still having issues trying to understand if say a server has a ntp server command on it would it in turn provide ntp services to other clients that point to it. Could you please confirm?

Peer, Client, Broadcast, Server etc. In addition how is a&gt; cisco router configured as a ntp server and when/how is it just a client. If&gt; we have a ntp server command on a router would it provide ntp server&gt; services to other routers in turn. Please help. Thank you&gt;&gt;
