Configure the NTP Client (Oracle ILOM CLI)

Many networks use an NTP as the central timekeeper to which all NTP-compatible devices synchronize. The switch has an NTP client that enables the system clock to synchronize with the NTP server that your network uses. Using an NTP server is not required, but if you do, use this task to configure the switch's NTP client.

  1. Set the IP addresses of the time servers.
    -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/number address=IP_address
    

    where:

    • number is 1 for the first time-server and 2 for the second time-server.

    • IP_address is the IP address of the time-server.

    For example, to use the time-servers with addresses 123.45.67.89 and 123.45.67.88, type:

    -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 address=123.45.67.89
    Set 'address' to '123.45.67.89'
    -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 address=123.45.67.88
    Set 'address' to '123.45.67.88'
    ->
    
  2. Start using the time servers.
    -> set /SP/clock usentpserver=enabled
    Set 'usentpserver' to 'enabled'
    ->
    

    The SP is configured to use the time servers.
