Using NTP Time Server for System Clock Synchronization
The GigaVUE nodes can optionally use one or more NTP servers for its time
setting. Use the following procedure to add an NTP server to the GigaVUE
node’s list and enable the use of NTP.
1.
Specify the address of the time server. For example, if the time server is
on 192.168.1.10, you would use the following command:
(config) # ntp server 192.168.1.10
N
OTE
:
There are many public NTP servers available on the Internet.
2.
Turn on NTP with the following command:
(config) # ntp enable
3.
The GigaVUE node connects to the specified NTP server and
synchronizes to its time.
4.
NTP reports times in UTC. Because of this, It is a good idea to specify the
GigaVUE node’s timezone so that UTC can be converted to the local
timezone.
You specify the timezone in terms of the offset from UTC (either plus or
minus). For example, to set the timezone for a GigaVUE node in the
United States for Pacific Standard Timezone, you would use the following
command:
(config) # clock timezone America North United_States Pacific
Once you’ve finished configuring NTP options, use the show ntp command
to check the status of clock synchronization ( Figure 4-13 ).
