Configuring SNTP
You can configure the switch to send time synchronization requests to time servers.
Command Attributes
• SNTP Client – Configures the switch to operate as an SNTP client. This requires
at least one NTP or SNTP time server to be specified in the SNTP Server field.
(Default: Disabled)
• SNTP Poll Interval – Sets the interval between sending requests for a time update
from a time server. (Range: 16-16384 seconds; Default: 16 seconds)
• SNTP Server – Sets the IP address for up to three time servers. The switch
attempts to update the time from the first server, if this fails it attempts an update
from the next server in the sequence.
Note:
SNTP and NTP clients cannot both be enabled at the same time.
Web – Select SNTP, Configuration. Modify any of the required SNTP parameters,
and click Apply.
