Basic Configuration
3-19
• 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.
CLI – This example configures the switch to operate as an SNTP client and as an
SNTP broadcast client.
Setting the Time Zone
SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean Time,
or GMT) based on the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To
display a time corresponding to your local time, you must indicate the number of
hours and minutes your time zone is east (before) or west (after) of UTC.
Command Attributes
• Current Time – Displays the current time.
• Name – Assigns a name to the time zone.
• Hours (0-12) – The number of hours before/after UTC.
• Minutes (0-59) – The number of minutes before/after UTC.
• Direction – Configures the time zone to be before (east) or after (west) UTC.
