Configuring the Network Time Protocol Settings

The switch must have access to the current time to verify that certificates

have not expired. You can configure the switch to request time updates from

the network time server (NTP).
To configure NTP settings in the on-board web interface:

1 Click the Configure tab, then click Remote Console Switch - NTP.
2 Click the Enable NTP box.
3 Enter the name of your network time source in the provided boxes. You

may also set an hour interval to specify how often to request time updates.

If the interval is set to 0, requests will only be made during appliance

startup or when changes to the

Global - NTP menu are made.

4 Click Save.
