Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters

Section I: Basic Operations

g. Type 6 - Poll Interval to specify the time interval between queries to

the SNTP server.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter interval to poll SNTP server [60 to 1200]
-> 600

h. Enter the number of seconds the switch waits between polling the

SNTP or NTP server. The default is 600 seconds. The range is from
60 to 1200 seconds.

i. Type 2 to select SNTP Status to enable or disable the SNTP client.

The following prompt appears:

SNTP Status (E-Enabled, D-Disabled) ->

j. Select one of the following:

E - Enables the SNTP client software on the switch.

D - Disables the SNTP client software

Once enabled, the switch immediately polls the SNTP or NTP
server for the current date and time. (The switch will also
automatically poll the server whenever a change is made to any of
the parameters in this menu, so long as SNTP is enabled.)

The Last Delta option in the menu displays the last adjustment that
was applied to system time due to a drift in the system clock between
two successive queries to the SNTP server. This is a read only field.

The U - Update System Time selection in the menu allows you to
prompt the switch to poll the SNTP or NTP server for the current time
and date. You can use this selection to update the time and date
immediately rather than wait for the switch’s next polling period. This
selection has no effect if you set the date and time manually.

6. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then

type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
