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 c onfigured. If
there are multiple addresses configured, the switch re-orders the addresses
according to the criteria described under “Address Prioritization” on page 21.
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:
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.
