Defining NTP Servers
It is common practice in carrier and enterprise networks to synchronize all the
system clocks via the network time protocol (NTP).This section contains infor-
mation on how to specify remote NTP servers with which the NE will synchro-
nize its clock. Use this section overview to quickly obtain the information of your
interest:
•
Creating new remote NTP server configurations - refer to
Step 5
•
Viewing or editing existing remote NTP server configurations - refer to
Step 14
•
Deleting an existing remote NTP server configuration - refer to
Step 19
•
Checking availability of a configured remote NTP server - refer to
Step 23
Refer to
Setting Date and Time
for a description about how to define NTP
servers.
Requirements
•
Before making changes to the date, time, time zone, or NTP configuration in
an already operating system, you should retrieve your performance record
history from the NE. Collect all performance records and store them in a
safe place before following this procedure. Use the FSP 3000R7 Element
Manager or the Network Manager to collect performance records.
