Note

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

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter SNTP server IP address ->

b. Enter an IP address of an SNTP or NTP server.
c. Type 4 to select UTC Offset to specify the difference between the

UTC and local time.

Note

If the switch is using DHCP, it automatically attempts to determine
this value. In this case, you do not need to configure a value for the
UTC Offset parameter.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter UTC Offset [-12 to 12] -> 0

d. Enter a UTC Offset time.

The default is 0 hours. The range is -12 to +12 hours.

e. Type 5 to select Daylight Savings Time (DST) to enable or disable

the switch’s ability to adjust its system time to daylight savings time.
The following prompt is displayed:

Adjust for Daylight Savings Time (E - Enabled,

D - Disabled) ->

f. Select one of the following:

E - Enabled to allow the switch to adjust system time to daylight
savings time. This is the default value.

D - Disabled to not allow the switch to adjust system time to
daylight savings time.

Note

The switch does not set DST automatically. If the switch is in a
locale that uses DST, you must remember to enable this in April
when DST begins and disable it in October when DST ends. If the
switch is in a locale that does not use DST, this option should be set
to disabled all the time.
