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.

Domain Name	Domain Name System (DNS) is a global network of servers that translate host
Resolution	names like www.mycompany.com into numerical IP (Internet Protocol)
	addresses, for example 24.62.13.19.
	To configure domain name resolution:
	1. Select Option 4 from the main menu.
