Configuring the Security Switch 6200 System

Configuring | The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a | |
the Network | computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a | |
radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides accuracies typically within a | ||
Time Protocol | ||
millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to | ||
(NTP) | Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through a Global Positioning Service | |
(GPS) receiver, for example. Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple | ||
| ||
| redundant servers and diverse network paths in order to achieve high | |
| accuracy and reliability. | |
| To configure NTP: | |
| 1. Select Option 3 from the main menu. | |

addresses, for example 24.62.13.19. | ||
