    Brocade 6510 configuration Local time synchronization You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP) servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP server.

  • Page 26: Setting Time Zones

    Brocade 6510 configuration Setting time zones You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory.
