Time management

You can set the appliance date and time manually and then use one or more Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers that synchronize the time automatically. You can also specify a secondary NTP server if the primary NTP server is unavailable.

Configuring the NTP Server

To configure the NTP server:

Log in to the NDR as npadmin using the NDR IP address or FQDN. For example:
$ ssh npadmin@10.1.0.1
or
$ ssh npadmin@exampleFQDN
Enter privileged mode:
npadmin@ia> enable
Enter the npadmin password. The password can be 5 to 24 characters long.
[sudo] password for npadmin: <password>
Enter configuration mode:
npadmin@ia# configure system
Enter the network settings: hostname # network
To set NTP servers, type 3. When prompted, enter the space-separated list of NTP server addresses and press Enter.
Type q to save your settings and exit.
Type y or n to confirm your changes.
Type Y to restart the network
