System time configuration
System time allows you to display and set the system time of the LB module. The LB module supports
setting system time through manual configuration and automatic synchronization of NTP server time.
An administrator can keep time synchronized among all the devices within a network by changing the
system clock on each device, because this is a huge amount of workload and cannot guarantee the clock
precision.
Defined in RFC 1305, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes timekeeping among distributed
time servers and clients. NTP allows quick clock synchronization within the entire network and ensures a
high clock precision so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time.
