NOTE:
Any change to the Date and Time Settings section causes the KMS Server to restart, which takes the
KMS offline for a few seconds.
NTP Settings
Use the NTP Settings section to enable NTP, establish the NTP servers, set a polling interval, and
synchronize the SKM on demand.
Figure 109 Viewing the NTP Settings section
The following table describes the components of the NTP Settings section.
Table 89 NTP Settings section components
Component Description
Enable NTP
Click inside the box to enable automatic NTP synchronization on the SKM. A check
mark inside the box denotes that the feature is enabled. When the NTP feature is
enabled, the SKM synchronizes the time with the time on the NTP servers at the
interval specified in the Poll Interval field.
NOTE:
When this feature is enabled, you cannot manually set the time or date on
the SKM.
NTP Server
Specify the IP address of the NTP server on the network. You can list as many as
three NTP servers. When clocks are synchronized, the SKM polls all the servers listed
to determine the correct time.
Poll Interval (min)
The poll interval, expressed in minutes, is the length of time between consecutive
polls. The minimum value for this field is 5; the maximum value is 10080 (one week).
This value must be a multiple of 5. If you attempt to set a value that is not a multiple
of 5, the SKM rounds down to the nearest multiple of 5.
Edit Click Edit to modify the NTP settings.
Synchronize Now
Click Synchronize Now to synchronize the clock on the SKM immediately.
NOTE:
The Synchronize Now button synchronizes the clock on the SKM even when
automatic NTP synchronization is not enabled.
Configuring the network
The Network Configuration page allows you to edit the network information for an SKM. This chapter
contains the following information:
• Network Interfaces Sections
• Gateways & Routing Sections
• Hostname & DNS Sections
