Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal clock based on periodic updates
from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log to
record meaningful dates and times for event entries.
You can also manually set the clock using the CLI. (See “calendar set” on page225.) If the clock is not set, the
switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.
SNTP Configuration - This switch acts as an SNTP client in a unicast mode. The switch periodically sends a
request for a time update to a configured time server. You can configure up to three time server IP addresses.
The switch attempts to poll each server in the configured sequence.
