Date and Time Setting Management Configuration
Date and Time Setting
ML systems support manual and automatic date and time assignment. Automatic assignment
uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and requires connectivity to NTP/SNTP server.
(Automatic Time of Day (TOD) adjustments according to Daylight Savings Time (DST)
rules is also supported.)
It is recommended to configure Date and Time of the system manually, even when planning
to use automatic Date and Time synchronization. Correct date and time allows reliable
system monitoring and is helpful in troubleshooting.
