Configuring Ntp; Default Ntp Configuration - Cisco Catalyst 2975 Software Configuration Manual

Managing the System Time and Date

Configuring NTP

The switch does not have a hardware-supported clock and cannot function as an NTP master clock to
which peers synchronize themselves when an external NTP source is not available. The switch also has
no hardware support for a calendar. As a result, the ntp update-calendar and the ntp master global
configuration commands are not available.
