Setting Up SNTP
When you set up SNTP, the switch polls an SNTP or NTP server for the
time. 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
For more information about SNTP, refer to Setting the System Time
on page 59.
To set up SNTP, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.
The Configuration System Page is displayed with the General Tab
selected by default, as shown in Figure 192 on page 584.
2. Select the System Time Tab.
The System Time Tab is shown in Figure 193 on page 588.
3. In the Simple Network Time Protocol Settings section, select disable
or enable and set up the switch to query a NTP or SNTP server:
Status - Click Enabled to allow the switch to query at the specified
time interval for the current time and date. Click Disabled to
prevent the switch from querying a NTP or SNTP server.
Server IP Address - Enter an IP address of your SNTP or NTP server
in the standard IP format.
Note
If you have enabled DHCP on the switch, the switch attempts to
retrieve the SNTP server IP address from the DHCP server
automatically. The automatic determination of server IP occurs only
if DHCP is enabled.
Poll Interval - Poll Interval to specify the time interval between two
successive queries to the SNTP server. Enter the number of
seconds the switch waits to poll the SNTP server. The default is
600 seconds. The range is from 60 to 1200 seconds.
4. Click Apply.
Your changes are activated on the switch.
5. To save your changes, return to the General Tab and click Save
Changes.
