About this task

Extreme Networks devices typically obtain the time and date for their internal clocks from an NTP server. Create NTP server profiles in the Common Objects area first, before creating Network Policies and the VGVAs that will reference them.

Procedure

  1. Selec the add icon.
  2. Enter a new NTP Server name.
  3. Enter an optional description.
  4. For HiveOS Device Sync Interval, set a polling interval for devices to use for internal clock synchronization.
  5. For New & Dell Switch Sync Interval, choose a polling interval to apply to Dell switches.
  6. To add an NTP server, select the plus sign.
  7. Select an existing NTP server host name or IP address with the Select icon or use the plus sign to create a new host name or IP address.
  8. Select Add.
  9. Repeat the procedure to add more NTP servers to the profile
    The second entry becomes the secondary NTP server, and so forth. Because NTP servers are accessed in order from the top according to their position in the profile, you can use the up and down arrows to rearrange them if necessary.
