This section describes how to configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).
Before you configure NTP, you must perform the following task:
NTPv3 does not use the Segmented Management Instance. For NTPv3, configure a traditional IP interface on the switch and ensure that the NTP server is reachable through this interface.
Note
NTPv3 is only supported on VSP 8600 Series.
For NTPv4, you must create a Segmented Management Instance and configure routing for that instance.
Important
NTP server MD5 authentication or SHA1 authentication does not support passwords (keys) that start with a special character or that contain a space between characters.
This task flow shows you the sequence of procedures you perform to configure NTP.
