Fabric OS Commands
The NTP server used MUST support a full NTP client. Fabric OS V3.1.x and
v2.6.1 have an SNTP client and hence will accept an SNTP or NTP server, but
V4.1.x has an NTP client. So for the proper functioning of a mixed fabric with
external time synchronization it is necessary that an NTP server that supports a
full NTP client be used.
The ipaddr specified should be the IP address of an NTP server and should be
accessible from the switch. When a clock server IP address other than LOCL is
specified but is not used by the fabric, a warning is displayed and logged. When a
clock server IP address other than LOCL is specified, the date command will
be restricted to display only. See the date command for more details.
Operands
This command has the following operand:
ipaddr
If no operand is specified the current value is displayed.
Example
The following example shows how to display the current clock server value
(LOCL), set the value to an NTP server at the specified IP address, and then verify
that the new IP address was saved:
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "11.22.33.44"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
11.22.33.44
switch:admin>

Specify the IP address of the NTP server. This operand is
optional. By default this value is "LOCL."
