Setting the SSR Name
The SSR name is set to ssr by default. You may customize the name for the SSR by entering
the following command in Configure mode:
Setting SSR Date and Time
The SSR system time can keep track of time as entered by the user or via NTP. To
configure the SSR date and time manually, enter the following command in Enable mode:
Configuring NTP
You can use the ntp set server command to instruct the SSR’s NTP client to periodically
synchronize its clock. By default, the SSR specifies an NTPv3 client that sends a
synchronization packet to the server every 60 minutes. This means the SSR will attempt to
set its own clock against the server once every hour. The synchronization interval as well
as the NTP version number can be changed.
Note: To ensure that NTP has the correct time, you need to specify the time zone, as
well. You can set the time zone by using the
system set timezone command.
When specifying daylight saving time, you’ll need to use the system set daylight-
saving command.
To configure the SSR’s NTP client to synchronize its clock, enter the following command
in Configure mode:
