Disabling NTP

To disable the NTP server and client modes, use the disable command in NTP configuration mode. Disabling the NTP server or client mode does not remove the configuration. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ntp
device(config-ntp)# disable

To enable the client mode, use the no disable command. To enable the client and server mode, use the no disable serve command.

The serve keyword disables NTP server mode. If the serve keyword is specified, NTP does not serve the time to downstream devices. In contrast, if the serve keyword is not specified, both NTP client and NTP server modes are disabled.

Note: The no disable command enables both the client and the server if the client was already enabled and the server was already disabled at that time the no disable server command was entered.
