19 Dell EMC Networking OS9 Switch Configuration Guide for VxRail 4.5
An NTP server is not required but is recommended. If an NTP server is not provided, VxRail uses the time
that is set on ESXi host #1.
Note: For this deployment guide, the PowerEdge server used as the jump box also provides DNS and NTP
services for the VxRail cluster. It is connected to both leaf switches for redundancy using Microsoft Windows
NIC teaming (switch-independent load balancing).
