Command Usage

The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates and times for log events. Without SNTP, the switch only records the time starting from the factory default set at the last bootup (i.e., 00:00:00, Jan. 1, 2001).

This command enables client time requests to time servers specified via the sntp servers command. It issues time synchronization requests based on the interval set via the sntp poll command.

The SNTP time query method is set to client mode when the first sntp client command is issued. However, if the sntp broadcast client command is issued, then the no sntp broadcast client command must be used to return the switch to SNTP client mode.
