Network time (SNTP Client)

Many networks synchronize the time using a Network time server. The network time

server provides time to the different machines using the Simple Network Time Protocol

(SNTP). To specify the SNTP server, one has to
1) Set the IP parameters on the switch
2) Define the SNTP parameters

To set the SNTP parameter, enter the SNTP configuration mode from the manager. The

‘setsntp, sync, sntp’ commands can then be used to setup the time synchronization

automatically from the SNTP server. Note it is not sufficient to setup the SNTP variables.

Make sure to setup the synchronization frequency as well as enable SNTP. The list of

relevant commands is listed below.

Syntax setsntp server = timeout =<1-10> retry =<1-3>

Syntax sync [hour=<0-24>] [min=<0-59>] (default = 24 hours)



The time zone and daylight savings time information have to be set for SNTP
server to set the proper time
