Enhancements in Release F.02.02

New Time Synchronization Protocol Options

Menu Interface Operation with Multiple SNTP Server Addresses Configured

When you use the Menu interface to configure an SNTP server IP address, the new address writes over the current primary address, if one is configured. If there are multiple addresses configured, the switch re-orders the addresses according to the criteria described under “Address Prioritization” on page 205. For example, suppose the switch already has the following three SNTP server IP addresses configured.

10.28.227.141 (primary)

10.28.227.153 (secondary)

10.29.227.100 (tertiary)

If you use the Menu interface to add 10.28.227.160, the new prioritized list will be:

New Address List

Address Status

 

 

 

10.28.227.153

New Primary

(The former primary, 10.28.227.141 was deleted when you used the menu to add

 

10.28.227.160.)

 

10.28.227.160

New Secondary

10.29.227.100

Same Tertiary

(This address still has the highest decimal value.)

 

 

 

SNTP Messages in the Event Log

If an SNTP time change of more than three seconds occurs, the switch’s event log records the change. SNTP time changes of less than three seconds do not appear in the Event Log.
