Network Time Synchronization
These fields are used to synchronize network time using the host name or IP address of a
known server to provide a synchronized time for all appliances in the network. To enable
Network Time Synchronization after these parameters are set, go to Configuration: System >
General on page 76 and check the box.
Configuration: Network > Routing
The WM Appliance requires no routing configuration for the vast majority of network uses.
Use these settings only in those rare cases when your network requires advanced routing
features in the appliance.
Note Network Administrators please note. DHCP Option 4 is used by the DHCP server to
return SNTP server addresses. This option must be enabled in the DHCP server for
these addresses to be returned to the VBrick. If the DHCP server configuration is
unknown, it is recommended that the address(es) be manually entered since the
DHCP server-supplied address will always override a manually-entered address.
Primary Server IP
Address or Host Name
Primary host name (VBrick Host Name or DNS Host Name) or IP
address of valid SNTP server providing time synchronization. A
blank field indicates the server address will be acquired via the
DHCP server only if the
Network DHCP field above is checked.
Secondary Server IP
Address or Host Name
Secondary host name (VBrick Host Name or DNS Host Name) or
IP address of valid SNTP server providing time synchronization. A
blank field indicates the server address will be acquired via the
DHCP server only if the
Network DHCP field above is checked.
