(Optional) Set the correct time and date.
Each time you power up your router, it starts with a default time and
date that differs from the actual time and date. Whether you set the
correct time and date or not depends on how you want the correct time
and date to be maintained in your network. When the time and date in
one router is used as the source for time and date in another router, this
control is termed the "Time Protocol service."
1. Identify the Time Protocol usage for your router and determine
whether to set the date and time:
If the router will operate as a:
Client of Time Protocol service
Server of Time Protocol service
Both client and server of Time Protocol service
Neither client nor server of Time Protocol service
*
The router designated as "server only" provides the Time Protocol service. If no
router is designated "server only," then a client/server router should provide the Time
Protocol service.
2. If you determine a need to set the time and date, use NCL's Time
command. (If you do not need to set the time and date, proceed with
the subsequent procedures for setting passwords and verifying the
installation, starting on page 1-28.)
At the Main menu (see figure 1-14), press [2] to select "Network Con-
trol Language Interpreter." The NCL prompt—DEFAULT_CONFIG:
or another system name you have configured—then appears at the
bottom of the screen, as shown in figure 1-17.
