Network Time Protocol Configuration

Configuring Network Time Protocol Settings

By default, when CIMC is reset, it synchronizes the time with the host. With the introduction of the NTP service, you can configure CIMC to synchronize the time with an NTP server. The NTP server does not run in CIMC by default. You must enable and configure the NTP service by specifying the IP/DNS address of at least one server or a maximum of four servers that function as NTP servers or time source servers. When you enable the NTP service, CIMC synchronizes the time with the configured NTP server. The NTP service can be modified only through CIMC.

Note To enable the NTP service, it is preferable to specify the IP address of a server rather than the DNS address.

Before You Begin

You must log in with admin privileges to perform this task.
