Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal clock
based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an
accurate time on the switch enables the system log to record meaningful dates
and times for event entries. You can also manually set the clock using the CLI.
(See “calendar set” on page 4-53.) If the clock is not set, the switch will only
cord the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.

When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request fo
time update to a configured time server. You can configure up to three time serv
IP addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server in the configured
sequence.
Configuring SNTP
You can configure the switch to send time synchronization requests to time
servers.
C
• SNTP Client – Configures the switch to operate as an SNTP unicast client. This
mode requires at least one time server to be
fi
• SNTP Poll Interval – Sets the interval between sendin
update from a time
• SNTP Server – Sets the IP address for up to three time servers. The s
attempts to update the time from the first server, if this fails it attempts an update
from the next server in the sequence.
Web – Select SNTP, Configuration. Modify any of the required parameters, and
click Apply.
