Configure the NTP behavior for devices in the system.
About this task
Synchronize the Manager clock to an external
NTP server and other system nodes with the Manager clock.
Attention: The Manager-only option cannot be used with a manager
that is deployed with Docker.
Important: When using Virtual Managers it is recommended to use Manager And
External NTP or External NTP Only.
Note: If the system has Vault Protection enabled or contains protected
vaults or protected mirrors, then only accounts with the Super User role can configure NTP.

external NTP servers.
