Understanding Time Synchronization in NDS
Time Servers
Figure 5-1 Single Reference Time Server
The Single Reference time server works on networks of any size, but the
time synchronization configuration shown in Figure 5-1 is used primarily for
small networks that don’t include WAN links.
CAUTION: If you use a Single Reference time server, avoid using Primary or Reference time
servers in the same tree because the time references might conflict.
Primary
Primary time servers synchronize the time with at least one other Primary
time server or with a Reference time server, and they provide the time to
Secondary time servers and directly to client workstations.
