NTP Server IP Address
Adds the IPv4 or IPv6 address for up to 50 time servers. The switch will poll the specified time
servers for updates when the clock maintenance type is set to NTP on the System > Time
(Configure General) page. It issues time synchronization requests at a fixed interval of 1024
seconds. The switch will poll all the time servers configured, the responses received are filtered
and compared to determine the most reliable and accurate time update for the switch.
Version
Specifies the NTP version supported by the server.
Authentication Key
Specifies the number of the key in the NTP Authentication Key List to use for authentication with
the configured server. NTP authentication is optional. If enabled on the System > Time (Configure
General) page, you must also configure at least one key on the System > Time (Add NTP
Authentication Key) page. (Range: 1-65535)
