Configuring Simple Network Time Protocol

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature synchronizes the Universal Coordinated Time
(UTC) to an accuracy within 1 second. This feature adheres to the IEEE RFC 2030 (MIB is the
s5agent). With this feature, the system can obtain the time from any RFC 2030-compliant NTP/
SNTP server.
For more information on SNTP, see Configuring Systems on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500
Series, NN47203–506.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Enter the following command:
[no] sntp server <primary | secondary> address <A.B.C.D>

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the sntp server command.
Variable
<A.B.C.D>

Configuring local time zone

Configure the time zone to use an internal system clock to maintain accurate time. The time zone
data does not include daylight saving time changes. You must configure daylight saving time.
Note:
SNTP uses Universal Coordinated Time UTC for all time synchronizations so it is not affected
by different time zones.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
September 2016
Definition
Specifies the IP address of the primary or secondary
NTP server in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
