Use this procedure to perform NTP server synchronization on NCS 1004 to keep the system clock accurate and prevent time deviation between NCS 1004 and network management systems.
Connect the NCS 1004 system clocks (XR and System Admin) to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to ensure they remain accurate and synchronized with network management systems.
Before you begin
Configure and connect to the management port. See Configure the management interface.
NCS 1004 has distinct system clocks for the XR and System Admin. When you synchronize the XR clock with an NTP server, both system clocks align. Synchronizing the clocks reduces the risk of time drift.
Procedure
| 1. | Enter configuration mode. Example:
Enters XR configuration mode.

|
| 2. | Use the ntp server command to configure the NTP server. Example:The XR clock is configured to synchronize with the specified NTP server. |
The XR clock is synchronized with the NTP server. The System Admin clock automatically synchronizes with the XR clock, ensuring accurate time throughout NCS 1004.
