YNCHRONIZE
The clock synchronize command establishes how, from where, and how often the
chassis
should synchronize its time with an external source.
There are three elements to the specification:
•
Protocol
This is the protocol to be used. Most common is the NTP protocol. Another
option is the more basic rdate. It is desirable to synchronize the system time
from the RTC.
•
Server
The address of the server that is used as the external time source. This is
valid only for NTP and RDATE protocols.
•
Rate
The rate at which the synchronization should be performed. Typically, the
settings are in the multi-hour range. The default value for the rate is every 12
hours.
Note:
1. Server name is mandatory for ntp and rdate protocols.
2. The parameter “number” depicts the number of minutes or hours between
updates.
3. The server name can be specified either in dotted numeric or domain name
format.
