Automatic Daylight Savings Time changes can be enabled or disabled. The default setting is enabled.
To disable automatic Daylight Savings Time, use the command:
configure timezone {name <std_timezone_ID>} <GMT_offset> noautodst
3 Enable the SNTP client using the following command:
enable sntp-client
After SNTP has been enabled, the switch sends out a periodic query to the NTP servers defined in
step 4 (if configured) or listens to broadcast NTP updates from the network. The network time
information is automatically saved into the onboard real-time clock.
4 If you would like this switch to use a directed query to the NTP server, configure the switch to use
the NTP server(s). If the switch listens to NTP broadcasts, skip this step. To configure the switch to
use a directed query, use the following command:
configure sntp-client [primary | secondary] <host-name-or-ip> {vr <vr_name>}
NTP queries are first sent to the primary server. If the primary server does not respond within 1
second, or if it is not synchronized, the switch queries the secondary server (if one is configured). If
the switch cannot obtain the time, it restarts the query process. Otherwise, the switch waits for the
sntp-client update interval
5 Optionally, the interval for which the SNTP client updates the real-time clock of the switch can be
changed using the following command:
configure sntp-client update-interval <update-interval>
The default
6 You can verify the configuration using the following commands:
■
show sntp-client
This command provides configuration and statistics associated with SNTP and its connectivity to
the NTP server.
■
show switch {detail}
This command indicates the GMT offset, the Daylight Savings Time configuration and status, and
the current local time.
