Changing the NTP Setting for Multiple Gateways

You can set the network time protocol (NTP) server for all gateways, or for a selected gateway, to automatically synchronize the device time on the devices.

Usage Notes

·         We strongly recommend using the same NTP setting for the gateways and for the ICPAM appliance to ensure synchronized events and messaging. To set the server NTP address, see System Configuration Settings . Other systems that are integrated with ICPAM, such as the Video Surveillance Manager (Cisco VSM), should use the same NTP server setting.

·         If the gateway is configured to receive an NTP server setting from DHCP, then the Set NTP Server command will not change the NTP server setting on that gateway.

·         You can also enter a default NTP server address to pre-populate the server field in the Set NTP Server window. This setting is not applied to the gateways automatically. You must complete the instructions in the Change the NTP Setting for Multiple Gateways.
