Configuring the NIC

Note:

It is not necessary to enable the "Input to Server" ntp service. If this service is already enabled, you do not need to disable it.

When the Avaya Installation Wizard prompts you for information about the network time servers, enter the DNS name or the IP address for the primary network time server and the secondary and the tertiary time servers if any. If you enter a DNS name instead of an IP address for the network time server, you must specify the IP address of the DNS server on the DNS/ DHCP web page. For more information, see About the Avaya Installation Wizard on page 41.

For more information about NTP, see RFC 958.
