3 Configuring the Switch

Configuring SNTP

You can configure the switch to send time synchronization requests to time servers.

Command Attributes

•SNTP Client – Configures the switch to operate as an SNTP client. This requires at least one time server to be specified in the SNTP Server field. (Default: Disabled)

•SNTP Poll Interval – Sets the interval between sending requests for a time update from a time server. (Range: 16-16284 seconds; Default: 16 seconds)

•SNTP Server – Sets the IP address for up to three time servers. The switch attempts to update the time from the first server, if this fails it attempts an update from the next server in the sequence.

Web – Select SNTP, Configuration. Modify any of the required parameters, and click Apply.
