VBrick Systems VB6000, VB4000, VB5000 Configuration Network Routing, Network Time Synchronization

Network Time Synchronization

These fields are used to synchronize network time using the host name or IP address of a known server to provide a synchronized time for all appliances in the network. To enable Network Time Synchronization after these parameters are set, go to Configuration: System > General on page 76 and check the box.

Note Network Administrators please note. DHCP Option 4 is used by the DHCP server to return SNTP server addresses. This option must be enabled in the DHCP server for these addresses to be returned to the VBrick. If the DHCP server configuration is unknown, it is recommended that the address(es) be manually entered since the DHCP server-supplied address will always override a manually-entered address.

Primary Server IP	Primary host name (VBrick Host Name or DNS Host Name) or IP
Address or Host Name	address of valid SNTP server providing time synchronization. A
	blank field indicates the server address will be acquired via the
	DHCP server only if the Network DHCP field above is checked.
Secondary Server IP	Secondary host name (VBrick Host Name or DNS Host Name) or
Address or Host Name	IP address of valid SNTP server providing time synchronization. A
	blank field indicates the server address will be acquired via the
	DHCP server only if the Network DHCP field above is checked.

Configuration: Network > Routing

The WM Appliance requires no routing configuration for the vast majority of network uses. Use these settings only in those rare cases when your network requires advanced routing features in the appliance.
