Time Protocols

SNTP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Note: This step replaces any previously configured server IP address. If you will be using backup SNTP servers (requires use of the CLI), then refer to “SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page 9-25.

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, ProCurve 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, refer to “SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page 9-25.

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