How to use restrict in ntp.conf

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When we configure ntp.conf as following, how ntp allow connections to the host?

    restrict default ignore
    restrict 192.168.0.1 noquery nomodify
    
  • Does ntp behavior depend on the order of restrict statements in ntp.conf? For example, the following 2 cases is different?

    Case1:
    restrict default ignore
    restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0
    restrict 192.168.0.1 noquery nomodify
    
    Case2:
    restrict default ignore
    restrict 192.168.0.1 noquery nomodify
    restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0
