To add a DNS server:

1Do one of the following:

„Open the WX Switch wizard, then select DNS under IP Services in the organizer list of the System and Administrative page.

2Click on a row in the IP Address column.

3Change the IP address in the row to the address of the DNS server.

4If this server is the primary DNS server for the switch, select the checkbox in the Primary column.

5You can designate only one DNS server as the primary DNS server. All other DNS servers are secondary servers.

6To add more DNS servers, repeat step 1 through step 4 for every server. You can add a total of six DNS servers.

7Do one of the following:

„Go to “Configuring NTP”.

„Select another item in the WX Switch wizard, if you are using this wizard.

„Click Finish to close the wizard and save changes.

Configuring NTP You can configure a WX switch to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to automatically set the system date and time. NTP polls network time servers at regular intervals and synchronizes the system date and time with the servers. By default, NTP is not enabled. You can specify up to three NTP servers.

If NTP is configured on a system whose current time differs from the NTP server time by more than 10 minutes, convergence of the WX time can take many NTP update intervals. 3Com recommends that you set the time manually to the NTP server time before enabling NTP to avoid a significant delay in convergence.
