To set the SNTP parameter with the command line software, enter the SNTP configuration
mode from the manager. The
setup the time synchronization automatically from the SNTP server. Note it is not sufficient
to setup the SNTP variables. Make sure to setup the synchronization frequency as well as
enable SNTP. The syntax for the above commands is shown below.
setsntp server = <ipaddress> timeout = <1-10>
retry = <1-3>
sync [hour=<0-24>] [min=<0-59>] (default = 24
hours)
sntp [enable|disable]
To set the SNTP server to be 3.94.210.5 (with a time out of 3 seconds and a number of
retries set to 3 times); allowing the synchronization to be ever 5 hours, the following
sequence of commands are used
ML3000#
sntp
ML3000(sntp)##
setsntp server=3.94.210.5 timeout=3 retry=3
SNTP server is added to SNTP server
database
ML3000(sntp)##
sync hour=5
ML3000(sntp)##
sntp enable
SNTP is already enabled.
ML3000(sntp)##
exit
ML3000(sntp)#
SNTP parameters can be configured through the EnerVista Secure Web Management
software with the Configuration > SNTP menu item. The SNTP menu allows the time zone
(hours from GMT) to be defined along with other appropriate parameters on setting the
time and synchronizing clocks on network devices.
