5. Type 1 - System Time to manually set the time and date for the switch.
To set system time with an SNTP server, go to step 8.
The following prompt appears:
Enter new system time [hh:mm:ss] ->
6. Enter a new time for the system.
To specify time for the switch, use a 24-hour clock (or military
time). Use the following format: hours, minutes, and seconds.
Separate each unit of time with a colon. For example, enter
17:20:00 for 5:20 PM.
The following prompt appears:
Enter new system date [dd-mm-yyyy] ->
7. Enter a new date for the system. Use two numbers to specify the day
and month. Use four numbers to specify the year. Separate each value
with hypens. For example, enter September 5, 2003 as 05-09-2003.
8. Type 2 - SNTP Status to enable or disable the SNTP client.
The following prompt appears:
SNTP Status (E-Enabled, D-Disabled) ->
9. Select one of the following:
E - Enabled to allow the switch to query a NTP or SNTP server at
the specified polling interval for the current time and date. You
configure the server in the SNTP Server field. You configure the
time interval in the Poll field. If you enable the SNTP status field
before you configure a SNTP server, this field has no effect until
you configure the server.
D - Disabled to prevent the switch from querying a NTP or SNTP
server.
10. Type 3 - SNTP Server to configure the IP address of an SNTP server.
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
either at boot-up (start-up) or when you enable the DHCP option in
the System Administration menu.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter SNTP server IP address ->
11. Enter an IP address of your SNTP or NTP server.
Use the standard IP format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
