Specifying Which NTP Server a C Series Controller Contacts
on Startup
When you boot a C Series Controller, it issues
an ntpdate request, which polls a network server to determine
the local date and time. Configure a server that the system uses to
determine the time when the system boots. Otherwise, NTP cannot synchronize
with a time server if the server’s time is very far off the
local system’s time.
To configure the NTP boot server:
From configuration mode, access the configuration statement
that configures NTP.
[edit]
user@host# edit system ntp
Specify the address or hostname of the network NTP server.
