Overview

Details the need to configure DNS and NTP servers for domain name resolution and clock synchronization, and to obtain proxy server details if applicable.

In the Maglev Configuration wizard, you'll be prompted to specify two items:

  • The Domain Name System (DNS) server is used by Catalyst Center Global Manager to convert domain names to IP addresses.

  • The Network Time Protocol (NTP) server is used by Catalyst Center Global Manager for clock synchronization. Ensure that the NTP server is accessible to the Catalyst Centers, or confirm they maintain synchronization with a time deviation of less than 1 second.

Before you configure your Catalyst Center Global Manager, do these steps:

  • Make sure the servers you want to use are available and running.

  • For an NTP server, obtain its IP address or hostname.

  • For a proxy server, obtain its URL, IP address, or hostname, as well as its login credentials.
