NTP Server
For successful and proper communication between various elements in a network, time synchronization between
the elements and across the network is critical. Following are the uses of time synchronization:
Trace and track security gaps, network usage, and troubleshoot network issues.
Map event on one network element to a corresponding event on another.
Maintain accurate time for billing services and similar.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is required to obtain the precise time from a server and to regulate the local time
in each network element. If NTP server is not configured in the Dell Instant network, an IAP reboot may lead to
variation in time and data.
Configuring an NTP Server
The NTP server is set to
pool.ntp.org
by default. To configure the NTP server on Dell Instant, perform the
following steps.
1. At the top right corner of the Instant UI, click the
Settings
link.
2. In the
Settings
box, click the
Basic
tab.
3. Enter the IP address or the URL (domain name) of the NTP server in the
