How it works...

Once we create a policy, we must associate it with a POD policy. The POD policy must then be associated with a POD profile.

We can see the results here:

Our APIC is set to use the new profile, which will be pushed down to the spine and leaf nodes.

We can also check the NTP status from the APIC CLI, using the command show ntp (you may want to add NTP servers using the IP address until the DNS recipe from Chapter 4, Routing in ACI, is completed).

apic1# show ntp
