Enterasys Networks manual Enabling NTP, Naming the Matrix X16-C

First-Time Quick Configuration

Enabling NTP

To configure NTP for the Matrix X16‐C, enter the following commands at the CLI prompt. The following commands enable the Matrix X16‐C either as an NTP client or server. Specify set ntp client broadcast to accept time synchronization from any NTP server and set ntp client unicast to accept time from a particular server. Alternatively, configure the Matrix X16‐C to accept time synchronization from a particular NTP server (the system must be in unicast mode). You can define up to 10 NTP servers. Optionally, if using multiple NTP servers, use the keyword prefer to specify which NTP server is the preferred server.

1.matrix-x(switch-su) set ntp client {broadcast unicast}

2.matrix-x(switch-su) set ntp server {ip-address[prefer]}

Set the round‐trip broadcast delay for NTP broadcast frames, ranging from 1 to 999999 microseconds. This delay is meant for NTP running on high‐speed LANs with many hosts and where the greatest accuracy is not required.

3. matrix-x(switch-su) set ntp broadcastdelay [1-999999]

Naming the Matrix X16-C

To specify a name, location and system contact for your Matrix X16‐C, enter the following commands at the CLI prompt:

1.matrix-x(switch-su) set system name [string]

2.matrix-x(switch-su) set system location [string]

3.matrix-x(switch-su) set system contact [string]
