4.2.4 SNTP Configuration

In the System sub-function menu, you can see the SNTP Configuration (see Figure 4-4), by which you can configure the time settings for the Managed Switch. You can specify SNTP Servers and set GMT Timezone. The SNTP Configuration screen in Figure 4-2-4appears.

The Time page includes the following fields:

Object		Description
•	SNTP Server	Provide the IP address of the SNTP Server in dotted decimal notation.
		Enter a user-defined SNTP server IP addresses or hostname. This is a text string
		of up to 64 characters containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of
		a SNTP server. Unicast SNTP requests will be sent to this address. If this
		address is a DNS hostname, then that hostname should be resolved into an IP
		address each time a SNTP request is sent to it.
•	Timezone Offset	Provide the timezone offset relative to UTC/GMT.
		The offset is given in minutes east of GMT.
		The valid range is from		to		minutes.
			-720		720
•	System Date	Display the current local date and time (UTC) of the last SNTP request or receipt
		of an unsolicited message. The field format is Year-Month-Day HH : MM : SS.
		For example, 2008-08-20 21:15:03
•	System Uptime	Display the time passed since the device boot up.

The device supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. SNTP operates only as a client, and cannot provide time services to other systems.
