System Management Commands

4-45

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
(e.g., 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.

• The SNTP time query method is set to client mode when the first sntp client

command is issued. However, if the sntp broadcast client command is issued,
then the no sntp broadcast client command must be used to return the switch
to SNTP client mode.
