The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Time > Time Configuration.
The Time Configuration page displays.
6. Select the Clock Source SNTP radio button.
The local clock can be set to SNTP only if the following two conditions are met:
• An SNTP server is configured.
• The switch can contact the SNTP server.
7. Next to Client Mode, select the mode of operation of the SNTP client:
• Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request
to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can
determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative
to the server.
• Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address provides a
single-subnet scope while a multicast address provides an Internet-wide scope.
The default value is Unicast.
8. If the SNTP client mode is Unicast, use the SNTP Server Configuration page to add the IP
address or DNS name of one or more SNTP servers for the switch to poll.
For more information, see
9. In the Port field, specify the local UDP port that the SNTP client receives server packets on.
