Network Time Protocol

Figure 4.24 Network Time Protocol Configuration

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used in the Internet to synchronize computer clocks

to national standard time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It synchronizes the time of a

computer or server (in this case, the F3400/F1000) to another server or reference time source.

NTP is important in maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability in time-stamped events.

This page allows users to configure the F3400/F1000’s NTP feature.

Network Time (NTP) Server: The IP address or hostname of the Network Time Protocol

Server with which the F3400/F1000 will synchronize. Examples of public NTP Servers include

“us.pool.ntp.org” and “time.nist.gov”.

Update Interval: The time in minutes the F3400/F1000 will take to request time updates from

the NTP Server. This can be set from 5-1440 minutes. Enter 0 to disable.

Retry Interval: The time in seconds the F3400/F1000 waits before retrying a failed connection

to the NTP Server. This can be set from 10-120 seconds.

Select Time Zone: Enter the time zone in which the F3400/F1000 resides.

Daylight Savings Time: Select the hour Daylight Savings Time occurs. Typically, this is 2:00

A.M. local time.
