NOTE: If the Timezone Source - DHCP setting is enabled and time zone

 

information is received from the DHCP server, then that information will be used to

 

adjust instead of the manually configured GMT Time Zone Offset and Acronym.

STEP 5

Configure the Daylight Savings Time settings, as described in step 5 in Specifying

 

Clock Settings Locally.

STEP 6

Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

STEP 7

Use the Configuring the SNTP Setting and Configuring SNTP Authentication to

 

configure additional SNTP settings, such as polling intervals, unicast server

 

addresses, and authentication information the switch needs to access SNTP

 

servers.

 

 

Configuring the SNTP Setting

The switch supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP ensures accurate network device time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch operates as an SNTP client only and cannot provide time services to other systems.

To display the SNTP Setting page, click Administration > Time Settings >

SNTP Setting in the navigation window.

Configuring the SNTP Setting

STEP 1 Ensure that the Use SNTP Server option is selected on the System Time page and that the Unicast or Broadcast mode is selected as required.

STEP 2 On the SNTP Setting page, configure the following:

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
