Set the Date and Time
Mode
Path: Administration > General > Date & Time > mode
Set the time and date used by the NMC. You can change the current settings manually or through a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) Server:
• Manual Mode: Do one of the following:
– Enter the date and time for the
NMC.
– Mark the check box Apply Local Computer Time to match the date and time settings of the
computer you are using.
• Synchronize with NTP Server: Have an NTP Server define the date and time for the
NMC.
By default, any
NMC on the private side of an InfraStruxure Central obtains its time settings
by using InfraStruxure Central as an NTP server.
