enable	Disables SNTP.
server	Clears stored SNTP server addresses.
sync-interval	Restores the default SNTP re-synchronization interval.

Setting local time zone

SNTP uses Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) for all time synchronizations so it is not affected by different time zones. In order for the switch report the correct time for your local time zone and daylight savings time, you must use the following commands:

•"clock time-zone" (page 213)

•"no clock time-zone" (page 213)

•"clock summer-time" (page 213)
