Usage Guidelines

SNTP can be used by the switch to update and synchronize its internal clock from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. After the SNTP client has been enabled, the switch sends out a periodic query to the indicated NTP server, or the switch listens to broadcast NTP updates. In addition, the switch supports the configured setting for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset and the use of Daylight Savings Time (DST).

Example

The following command enables the SNTP client:

enable sntp-client
