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 SN TP ti me qu ery me thod is set to cl ient mode w hen t he fi rst 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.
