1. Configure the SNTP server IP address. The IP address can be either from the public NTP
server or your own. You can search the Internet to locate the public server. The servers
available could be listed in domain-name format instead of address format. In that case, use
the ping command on the PC to find the server's IP address. The following example
configures the SNTP server IP address to 208.14.208.19.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#sntp server 208.14.208.19
2. After configuring the IP address, enable SNTP client mode. The client mode may be either
broadcast mode or unicast mode. If the NTP server is not your own, you must use unicast
mode.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#sntp client mode unicast
3. Once enabled, the client will wait for the polling interval to send the query to the server. The
default value is approximately one minute. After this period, issue the show command to
confirm the time has been received. The time will be used in all logging messages.
(Netgear Switch) #show sntp server
