6. To configure the switch to obtain its date and time from an SNTP or

NTP server on your network or the Internet, specify the following fields:

NTP Status— Select Enabled or Disabled to configure the SNTP
client on the switch. The default is disabled.

Server IP Address— Specify the IPv4 address of an SNTP or
NTP server.

The IPv4 format is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is a decimal number
from 0 to 255.

Note

If the local interface on the switch is obtaining its IP address and
subnet mask from a DHCP server, you can configure the server to
provide the interface with an IP address of an NTP or SNTP server.
If you configured the server to provide this address, then you do not
need to enter it here.

Time Zone— Select the time zone as a measurement of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is the default setting. Use the
pull-down menu to select the other time zones.

Daylight Saving— Enable or disable the system’s adjustment for
daylight savings time. The default is disabled.
