Setting the System Time
To set system time on the switch, configure the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP). This feature allows you to synchronize computer clocks
on the Internet by specifying the difference between local time and
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). You can either set the system time
manually every time you boot the switch or you can set the system time
with an SNTP server.
SNTP is a reduced version of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). However,
it is important to note that SNTP servers and clients are interoperable
with NTP servers and clients.
Note
If SNTP is disabled, or you have not configured an SNTP server, the
system time defaults to midnight of January 1, 1970.
Use the following procedure to configure the system date and time for
your switch.
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Menu.
The System Menu is shown in Figure 5 on page 51.
2. From the System Menu, type 1 to select Configure System.
The Configure System Menu is shown in Figure 11.
