Configuring System Level NTP Services
The System NTP Server page is used to configure up to 16 NTP servers. The clocks on all CDS servers
(Vault, Streamer, and Caching Node) and the CDSM and VVIM in a CDS must be synchronized in order
to retrieve the statistics on to the CDSM and VVIM.
To view the current NTP System Level settings, choose Configure > System Level > System NTP
Server.
To configure the NTP service settings, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > System Level > System NTP Server. The System NTP Server page is displayed.
Step 2 In the New NTP Server field, enter the IP address of the NTP server.
Step 3 Click Submit.
To clear the fields and start over, click Reset.
To delete the NTP settings, check the Delete check box and click Delete Entry.

“Other NTP Configurations” section on page 4-127.
Configuring the Hosts Service
The Host Service page offers the option to enter a hostname and associated IP address as an alternative
or backup to the DNS service. The system searches the host service table before searching the DNS
services. The host service settings are considered an alternative or backup to the DNS service.
To view the current host service settings, choose Configure > System Level > Host Service. The
hostnames currently configured are listed at the bottom of the page.
To configure the host service settings, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > System Level > Host Service. The Host Service page is displayed.
Step 2 Enter the host service settings as appropriate. See Table 4-2 for descriptions of the fields.
Step 3 Click Submit. The new entry is added to the host table located at the bottom of the page.
To clear the fields and start over, click Reset.
Step 4 To add more hostnames to the host table, repeat Step 2 and Step 3.
