bIn the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.

cClick the plus sign next to System.

dSelect IP Services.

eIn the Task List panel, select DNS Server.

5Select whether the server is primary or secondary.

You can designate only one DNS server as the primary DNS server. All other DNS servers are secondary servers.

6Click OK.

Configuring NTP You can configure a WX switch to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to automatically set the system date and time. NTP polls network time servers at regular intervals and synchronizes the system date and time with the servers. By default, NTP is not enabled. You can specify up to three NTP servers.

If NTP is configured on a system whose current time differs from the NTP server time by more than 10 minutes, convergence of the WX time can take many NTP update intervals. 3Com recommends that you set the time manually to the NTP server time before enabling NTP to avoid a significant delay in convergence.

1Under NTP in the Content panel, select Enabled.

2To change the interval at which an NTP server is polled, specify its value in seconds (16 to 1024) in the Update Interval box. The default is 64 seconds.

3Access the Create NTP Server wizard:

a Select the Configuration tool bar option.

b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. c Click the plus sign next to System.

d Select IP Services.

e In the Task List panel, select NTP Server.

4Type the server address in the IP Address box.

5Click OK.
