Configure the SET Timesync parameters consistently on the network to avoid time synchronization conflicts on large networks.
The following parameters are interdependent across the servers:
set timesync service advertising = on|off
All servers should be configured the same (On or Off) for this parameter to be effective.
This parameter has no effect on time consumers (Secondary time servers).
set timesync configured sources = on|off
When On, this server does not listen to SAP/SLP Timesync services. The time source for this server will be taken from the timesync configuration file.
set timesync time sources
This parameter identifies a time provider by server name or IP address. To use a NTP time source, append the server name or IP address with :123. Here, 123 indicates the standard NTP port. For Timesync to use this parameter, set timesync configured sources SET parameters to On. The time servers specified in the configured sources overrides servers discovered by any SAP/SLP, if configured sources Timesync SET parameters is set to On.
set default time server type
The SET Timesync Type parameter always overrides this parameter.
