Configure network time synchronization

Hirschmann assumes that, when reading this section, you have taken the necessary steps to

securing the device itself

(see on page 35 “Configure time synchronization”)

.

To help synchronize the time in the network, the device may act as a time server.

Configure the server function of the device. Parameters to be configured may include:



Enable the server function of the device only if necessary.



Enable only the servers for the network protocols allowed by the policy.



Tune the server functions of the chosen network time protocol on the device.
