Fig 23-2 Typical SNTP Configuration
All DCS-3950 series switch in the autonomous zone are required to perform time
synchronization, which is done through two redundant SNTP/NTP servers. For time to be
synchronized, the network must be properly configured. There should be reachable route
between any DCS-3950 series switch and the two SNTP/NTP servers.
Example: Assume the IP addresses of the SNTP/NTP servers are 10.1.1.1 and 20.1.1.1,
respectively, and SNTP/NTP server function (such as NTP master) is enabled, then
configurations for any DCS-3950 series switch should like the following:
Switch #config
Switch (config)#sntp server 10.1.1.1
Switch (config)#sntp server 20.1.1.1
From now on, SNTP would perform time synchronization to the server according to the
default setting (polltime 64s, version 1).
