You can set the appliance date and time manually and then use one or more Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers that synchronize the time automatically. You can also specify a secondary NTP server if the primary NTP server is unavailable.

Configuring the NTP Server

To configure the NTP server:

  1. Log in to the NDR as npadmin using the NDR IP address or FQDN. For example:

    $ ssh npadmin@10.1.0.1

    or

    $ ssh npadmin@exampleFQDN

  2. Enter privileged mode:

    npadmin@ia> enable

  3. Enter the npadmin password. The password can be 5 to 24 characters long.

    [sudo] password for npadmin: <password>

  4. Enter configuration mode:

    npadmin@ia# configure system

  5. Enter the network settings: hostname # network

  6. To set NTP servers, type 3. When prompted, enter the space-separated list of NTP server addresses and press Enter.

  7. Type q to save your settings and exit.

  8. Type y or n to confirm your changes.

  9. Type Y to restart the network
