the specified time servers.

The following parameters are displayed:

Current Time – Shows the current time set on the switch.

Authentication Status – Enables authentication for time requests and

updates between the switch and NTP servers. (Default: Disabled)

You can enable NTP authentication to ensure that reliable updates are

received from only authorized NTP servers. The authentication keys

and their associated key number must be centrally managed and

manually distributed to NTP servers and clients. The key numbers and

key values must match on both the server and client.

Polling Interval – Shows the interval between sending requests for a

time update from NTP servers. (Fixed: 1024 seconds)

To set the clock maintenance type to NTP:
