Description

Summary

Add support for controlling the source IP or source interface for NTP packets

Use case

We would like to be able to specify a particular IP address or interface to source NTP requests from. Cisco allows either scenario.

for example:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5500/sw/system_management/7x/b_5500_System_Mgmt_Config_7x/configuring_ntp.pdf

ntp source-interface interface
ntp source ip-address

@Viacheslav
can you provide an example of how to use policy route to control the source-interface of these packets?
