CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Command Attributes

SNTP Client – Configures the switch to operate as an SNTP unicast client. This mode requires at least one time server to be specified in the SNTP Server field.

SNTP Broadcast Client – Configures the switch to operate as an SNTP broadcast client. This mode requires no other configuration settings; the switch will obtain time updates from time server broadcasts (using the multicast address 224.0.1.1).

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

SNTP Server – In unicast mode, 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.
