Figure 32 Configuring Device A as the NTP server of Switch B
Verifying the configuration
After the configuration, verify that Device A and Switch B have the same system time.
Configuration guidelines
When you configure the system time, follow these guidelines:
•
A device can act as a server to synchronize the clock of other devices only after its clock has
been synchronized. If the clock of a server has a stratum level higher than or equal to the level
of a client's clock, the client will not synchronize its clock to the server's.
•
The synchronization process takes some time. The clock status might be displayed as
unsynchronized after your configuration. In this case, refresh the page to view the clock status
and system time later on.
•
If the system time of the NTP server is ahead of the system time of the device, and the time gap
exceeds the Web idle time specified on the device, all online Web users are logged out because
of timeout after the synchronization finishes.
