Chapter 34 Configuring NTP
To configure authentication, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Configure an authentication key pair for NTP and
specify whether the key is trusted or untrusted.
Step 2 Specify the IP address of the NTP server and the
public key.
Step 3 Enable NTP client mode.

modes on the switch, and verify the configuration:

Setting the Time Zone

You can specify a time zone for the switch to display the time in that time zone. You must enable NTP
before you set the time zone. If NTP is not enabled, this command has no effect. If you enable NTP and
do not specify a time zone, UTC is shown by default.
To set the time zone, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Set the time zone.
Step 2
Verify the time zone configuration.
