# system.ntpserver.create

Add an NTP Server.

address specifies the hostname/IP address of the NTP server.

burst when enabled makes sure that if server is reachable, sends a burst of eight packets instead of one. This is designed to improve timekeeping quality with the server command.

iburst when enabled speeds up the initial synchronization, taking seconds rather than minutes.

prefer marks the specified server as preferred. When all other things are equal, this host is chosen for synchronization acquisition with the server command. It is recommended that they be used for servers with time monitoring hardware.

minpoll is minimum polling time in seconds. It must be a power of 2 and less than maxpoll.

maxpoll is maximum polling time in seconds. It must be a power of 2 and greater than minpoll.

force when enabled forces the addition of NTP server even if it is currently unreachable.
