14.7 Setting the time and date
You can use a variety of time synchronization and network time protocol tools,
depending on network design needs, including:
• ntpd, xntpd, or rdate, for network management domain devices
• the clock function on a Windows station
• SNTP, for devices in the managed network
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you keep time synchronous between network
devices, for example, timing between routers. See the appropriate OS documentation
for more information about using time and date synchronization protocols.
Note — Timing between the 5620 SAM main servers and GUI clients
must be synchronized.
