Command Usage

• The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates and

times for log events. Without SNTP, the switch only records the time starting
from the factory default set at the last bootup (i.e., 00:00:00, Jan. 1, 2001).

• This command enables client time requests to time servers specified via the

sntp servers command. It issues time synchronization requests based on the
interval set via the sntp poll command.
