Setting the System Clock

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal

clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).

Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log to

record meaningful dates and times for event entries. You can also manually

set the clock. If the clock is not set manually or via SNTP, the switch will

only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.

When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request

for a time update to a configured time server. You can configure up to three

time server IP addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server in the

configured sequence.

Use the System > Time (Configure General - Manual) page to set the

system time on the switch manually without using SNTP.
