Section: Miscellaneous Options

interface [listen | ignore | drop] [all | ipv4 | ipv6 | wildcard | name | 
address[/prefixlen]]

        This command controls which network addresses ntpd opens, and
        whether input is dropped without processing. The first parameter
        determines the action for addresses which match the second
        parameter. That parameter specifies a class of addresses, or a
        specific interface name, or an address. In the address case,
        prefixlen determines how many bits must match for this rule to
        apply. ignore prevents opening matching addresses, drop causes
        ntpd to open the address and drop all received packets without
        examination. Multiple interface commands can be used. The
        last rule which matches a particular address determines the
        action for it. interface commands are disabled if any of the
        -I, --interface,-L, or --novirtualips command-line options are
        used. If none of those options are used and no interface actions
        are specified in the configuration file, all available network
        addresses are opened. The nic command is an alias for interface.
