Configuring NTP
You can use the
ntp set server
command to instruct the GSR’s NTP client to periodically
synchronize its clock. By default, the GSR specifies an NTPv3 client that sends a
synchronization packet to the server every 60 minutes. This means the GSR 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 GSR’s NTP client to synchronize its clock, enter the following command
in Configure mode:
