Security—How to Specify a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and clock synchronization in a network environment. The switch, which acts as an NTP client, periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock on an NTP server. Time synchronization is typically optional (although recommended) for the switch’s network operations; however, for sites using Kerberos authentication, time synchronization is required. Kerberos must synchronize the clocks of its Key Distribution Center (KDC) server(s).
1.Select System Configuration
2.Select Enable NTP on WS2000 to enable NTP service.
3.Specify a Preferred Time Server, and optionally a First Alternate Time Server and a Second Alternate Time Server by specifying the IP address and Port for the time service for each server. The default port is 123. The larger number of NTP servers specified, provides the greatest assurance of uninterrupted time synchronization.
