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 server

command. It issues time synchronization requests

based on the interval set via the

sntp poll

command.
