Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP synchronizes the clocks of various devices across networks. It also
automatically adjusts the time of network devices so that they are synchronized
within milliseconds. The Nortel VPN Router receives NTP updates from an NTP
time server and continuously synchronizes its clock to universal standard time.
The Nortel VPN Router supports up to eight NTP (unicast) servers and broadcast,
multicast servers.
Note: Previously the NTP server would open the NTP port for the
management IP address rather than the filter. Now if the Management IP
address is higher than the LAN IP and an NTP server is configured as
accessible from the private network, NTP operates properly, but the local
address will show up as 0.0.0.0 on the Status > Statistics > NTP Stats
window.
The System > Date and Time > Network Time Protocol window allows you to
set up NTP on the Nortel VPN Router. NTP synchronizes the clocks of various
devices across networks.
It also automatically adjusts the time of network devices so that they are
synchronized within milliseconds. The Nortel VPN Router receives NTP updates
from an NTP time server and continuously synchronizes its clock to universal
standard time. The Nortel VPN Router supports up to eight NTP (unicast) servers
and broadcast, multicast servers.
