Connecting and configuring the appliance Using the Configuration Console Option Gateway Definition Specifies the IP addresses of other gateways (typically firewall or routers) through which the device will communicate with the network. The Basic Settings page specified the default gateway. Metric Displays a number used by routing software. Default value is 0.0. Enable dynamic routing Dynamic routing allows your network devices, including the device, to listen for the routing information that routers broadcast on your network. The devices can use that information to configure their own routing information. NOTE: The device supports only the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols. Time Settings Use this page to set the time and date, and any details for the use of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP synchronizes timekeeping among devices in a network. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide a timekeeping service. For more information about NTP, see RFC 1305 at www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1305.html, www.ntp.org or www.ntp.isc.org The device can synchronize its time settings to other devices, keeping its own logs, reports and schedules accurate. Because NTP messages are not sent often, they do not noticeably affect the blade servers performance.
