Change the NTP Setting for Multiple Gateways

Use the Set NTP Server command on the access gateway driver to configure the same NTP server IP Address on multiple gateways.

Note   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. 

Procedure:

Step 1            (Optional) Enter a default NTP server setting to auto-populate the NTP Server field.

See the (Optional) Set a Default NTP Server for more information.

Step 2            Select Hardware - Tree from the Doors menu.

Step 3            Right-click the Access GW Driver and select the Set NTP Server command.

Step 4   In the Set NTP Server dialog, enter the following settings:

a.  Enter the NTP Server's IP address.

Tip           If an NTP server address was entered in the System Configuration, that address appears by default. You can edit the address if necessary. See the (Optional) Set a Default NTP Server for more information.

b. Select All Gateways to select all available gateways. Only gateways in the UP state are displayed and available for NTP configuration.

c.  Select or deselect gateways in the list to include or exclude modules.

Tip           Use the Search field to locate and display a specific module.

Step 5        Click OK to save the changes.

Step 6         Select Yes when the confirmation message appears. The approximate time that the command will take to execute appears.

Step 7  Verify that the correct NTP Server IP address appears in the Extended Status area, under the Gateway Network Address tab. See the Displaying the Gateway Network and Firmware Configuration for more information.

Note       If the Set NTP Server command is already in progress for one or more gateways, you must wait for the summary event information to appear before you can use the command again.
