  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run ...
