dynamic associations. A static association refers to an association that a user has manually created by
using an NTP command. A dynamic association is a temporary association created by the system during
operation.

Parameters
ip-address: Specifies a multicast IP address. The default is 224.0.1.1. A multicast server and client must be
configured with the same multicast IP address.
Usage guidelines
After you configure the command, the device listens to NTP messages using the specified multicast
address as the destination address.
If you have configured the device to operate in multicast client mode on an interface with the command,
do not add the interface to any aggregate group. To add the interface to an aggregate group, remove
the configuration of the command.
Examples
# Configure the device to operate in multicast client mode and receive NTP multicast messages on
GigabitEthernet 2/0/1, and set the multicast address to 224.0.1.1.
