NTP Server Force Sync

The BNP can be configured to use up to five NTP servers with which the BNP will attempt to
synchronize. In the event of a significant disparity between the BNP's time and that of the NTP server,
the BNP may (by design) require considerable time to synchronize with the NTP server. You can
manually force a quick synchronization between the server and the BNP.
Forcing a synchronization will prompt for a reboot of the BNP, thus resulting in a service disruption on
non-redundant BNP configurations. NTP synchronization on non-redundant BNP configurations
should be conducted during a maintenance window.
Use steps in this section to perform the following forced synchronizations on the BNP:
