Configure NTP with CFS
To configure NTP with CFS using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
- Expand Switches, expand Clock then select NTP in the Physical Attributes pane.
- Click the CFS tab in the Information pane.
- Click a switch value in the Global column, enable or disable.
- Choose enable.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all switches in the fabric.
Note A warning displays if you do not enable CFS for all switches in the fabric for this feature.
- Check the Master check box for the switch that you want to act as the merge master for this feature.
- Click the switch value in the Config Action column. A drop-down menu appears.
- Select Commit.
- Click the Servers tab in the Information pane. You see the configuration for this feature based on the master switch.
- Modify the Master configuration as needed. For example, right-click the value in the Master column and select Create Row to create a server for NTP.
- Set the ID, and the Name or IP Address for the NTP server.
- Choose a Mode radio button and, optionally, check the Preferred check box.
- Click Create to add the server.
Fabric Manager sends the request to the master switch. Click the CFS tab and check the Last Results column for the new entry. It has a "pending" status.- From the CFS tab, set the Config Action column to commit to distribute the feature change through the fabric. Fabric Manager only changes the status to "running" when commit, clear, or abort is selected and applied.
Note Fabric Manager will not change the status to "pending" if enable is selected, because the "pending" status does not apply until the first actual change is made.
- Click the Apply Changes icon to commit the configuration changes for that feature and distribute the changes through CFS, or click Undo Changes to discard the changes for that feature.
