ntp client

Command Usage

The SNTP and NTP clients cannot be enabled at the same time. First disable the SNTP client before using this command.

The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates and times for log events. Without NTP, the switch only records the time starting from the factory default set at the last bootup (i.e., 00:00:00, Jan. 1, 2001).

This command enables client time requests to time servers specified via the ntp servers command. It issues time synchronization requests based on the interval set via the ntp poll command.

Example

Console(config)#ntp client

Console(config)#
