Edit an NTP Server or Peer Configuration

To create an NTP server or peer, perform the following steps.

  1. From the Fabric Manager, select Switches > System from the Physical pane of the menu tree, OR From Device Manager, choose NTP from the Admin menu.

    The System information pane (or in DM, the NTP dialog box) is displayed.

  2. Click the NTP Peer tab.

    A list of NTP peers and servers for that switch is displayed.

  3. To change the peer address, double click on the IP address in the Peer Address column, and change the numbers. Alternatively, you can triple click on the IP address and type in a new address.
  4. To change the mode from peer to server, click on the mode in the Mode column next to the address of the switch for which you want to change the mode.

    A dropdown list is displayed with the options peer or server. Select the mode you want for your switch.

  5. To change the Preferred Peer status to Preferred Peer, check the PrefPeer checkbox next to the address of the switch for which you want to change the status. To remove this status, uncheck the box.
  6. Click the Apply button to apply your changes to the switch, or click the Close button to close the NTP Peer dialog box without saving your changes.
