4.2.4 Setting Kerberos Time Synchronization

This procedure synchronizes the NTP server with the switch's on board KDC. The KDC can use the system time
or an NTP server (when available). When an NTP server is configured for use, the KDC contacts the NTP server
every 30 minutes to synchronize the system time and propagate the master KDC database to the slave KDC.
Except in a master/slave configuration, KDC NTP time configuration is optional.
To synchronize the NTP server with the switch's on board KDC, follow these steps:
1. From the WS5000 Series Switch GUI main window, click System Settings > Kerberos >
Configuration > NTP.
The KDC Time Configuration dialog box appears.
