NTP Server 3: __________________
NTP Server 4: __________________
NTP Server 5: __________________
Sets the hostname or IP address of
one or more network time protocol
(NTP) servers that synchronizes with
your Unity Connection server.
The NTP service ensures that the
time synchronized is accurate for
date/timestamps of messages,
reports, and various tools, such as
logs and traces.
All Unity Connection servers require
an external NTP source that are
accessible during installation. The
source can be a corporate head-end
router synchronized with a public
NTP time server or it can be the
public NTP time server itself.
Note To avoid potential
compatibility, accuracy, and
network jitter problems, the
external NTP servers should
be NTP v4 (version 4). If you
are usingIPv6 addressing,
external NTP servers must be
NTP v6.
Note The NTP server that you
specify for the publisher
server is automatically
applied for the subscriber
server.
