NTP Servers and Time Zone

Having the different VSP elements time synchronized with NTP is essential to ensure that the messages passed between the VSD, HP VSC and VRS elements are appropriately timestamped to ensure proper processing.

Specify one or more (and preferrably three) NTP servers should be defined like in the example below (10.0.0.123, 10.10.10.18 and 10.200.223.10).

The time zone is set with the zone command (PST) with the daylight savings time zone set with the dst-zone command (PDT). The dst-zone will automatically complete the start and end dates and times, but can be edited if needed.

XMPP and OpenFlow

Specify the xmpp server (xmpp.example.com) and username (NSC-vPE-1) and password (password). The ejabberd server is configured to auto-create the user on the server with the supplied username and password.

For OpenFlow, optional subnets can be specified with the auto-peer command which restricts inbound OpenFlow connections from that subnet. If no auto-peer stanza is configured, OpenFlow will sessions will be accepted on all interfaces, both in-band and out-of-band.
