SNTP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

ii.Enter the IP address of the SNTP server you want the switch to use for time synchronization.

Note: This step replaces any previously configured server IP address. If you

will be using backup SNTP servers (requires use of the CLI), then see

“SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page 9-21.

iii.Press [v] to move the cursor to the Server Version field. Enter the value that matches the SNTP server version running on the device you specified in the preceding step (step ii). If you are unsure which version to use, HP recommends leaving this value at the default setting of 3 and testing SNTP operation to determine whether any change is necessary.

Note: Using the menu to enter the IP address for an SNTP server when the switch already has one or more SNTP servers config­ ured causes the switch to delete the primary SNTP server from the server list and to select a new primary SNTP server from the IP address(es) in the updated list. For more on this topic, see “SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page 9-21.

iv.Press [>] to move the cursor to the Poll Interval field, then go to step 6.

6.In the Poll Interval field, enter the time in seconds that you want for a Poll Interval. (For Poll Interval operation, see table 9-1, “SNTP Parameters”, on page 9-5.)

7.Press [Enter] to return to the Actions line, then [S] (for Save) to enter the new time protocol configuration in both the startup-config and running­ config files.
