Date & Time and SNTP Configuration
System time and date used for the Switch can be adjusted and defined according to time zone and
seasonal variations. The Switch may also use SNTP to update date and time information.
Figure 6- 38. Current Date and Time Information
To configure Date and Time, type in the correct date in the form YEAR/MONTH/DAY. Type in the
local time in the form HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND.
Time Zone information uses the standard GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) as the reference base. Type
in the time zone information in the form +/- HOUR:MINUTE.
Summer Time settings may be Enabled or Disabled according to local practice. To define the end of
Daylight Savings Time (DST) and the beginning of Summer (Standard Time) where applicable, choose
st
nd
the week (1 = 1
week of month, 2 = 2
week etc.), day of the week and month Standard Time
normally begins and DST ends. Likewise define the end of Standard Time (beginning of DST)
according to normal local practice. Summer time offset is the number of hours that clocks are adjusted
when the seasonal time changes occur.
Date and time settings allow for use of Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) or use the internal
system clock. To enable NTP service, select Enabled from the NTP drop-down menu and type in an IP
address of the chosen SNTP Server. SNTP Interval controls the frequency of NTP updates, that is,
the amount of time in seconds between NTP update requests.
Click the Apply button to set the system time and date.
The CLI commands work a bit differently for date and time settings on the Switch. Please refer to the
CLI Reference Manual in the section on Date and Time for details.
