How to disable ntpd on nexus 5548?

[d.novakovic]

Hi
there is a vulnerability. So i would like to disable ntpd on nexus 5548.

sh processes | inc ntp
3695 S 772523b2 1 - ntp
3697 S 76cb83b2 1 - ntpd

How to disable ntpd, while the switch still can act as ntp client and get time from timeserver?

no feature ntp?

Can disabling feature ntp lead to some unpredictable behavior?

sh ntp status
Distribution : Disabled
Last operational state: No session

Thank you.

Ntp feature 

Needed if you want nsk to be ntp client.

And why you want to disable ntp?

Hi .. because some NTP vulnerability.
Why should ntpd (ntp deamon) run, when the switch does not have to be NTP Server?
Yes with no feature ntp even ntp client not functional, though chatGPT says with ntp server XXXX it still can get time from ext. time server.

Feature ntp

And there is no ntp master 

Making nsk work only as ntp client to server you config with 

Ntp server.

So 

Ntp master make your nsk server for other network device.
