Chapter 2 Configuring CSS Basics
Synchronizing the CSS with an SNTP Server
Configuring the SNTP Server
Use the
sntp server
command to specify the SNTP server. The syntax for this
command is:
sntp server
ip_address
{version
number
}
The options and variables are as follows:
•
server
ip_address
- The IP address for the SNTP server. Enter an IP address
in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.1.0).
•
version
number
- The version number of the SNTP server. Enter a version
number between 1 and 4. The default is 1.
To configure an SNTP server (running version number 3), enter:
(config)#
sntp server
192.168.19.21 version 3
To remove the specified SNTP server, enter:
(config)#
no sntp server
Configuring the SNTP Poll Interval
The poll interval is the time (in seconds) between successive SNTP request
messages to the server. Continuous polling is critical for the CSS to obtain time
from the SNTP server and ensure the local time matches the “real time” of the
server. Use the
sntp poll-interval
command to specify the poll interval for SNTP
request messages. The valid entries are 16 to 16284 seconds. The default is 64
seconds.
To specify an SNTP poll-interval of 90 seconds, enter:
(config)#
sntp poll-interval 90
To return the SNTP poll-interval to the default setting of 64 seconds, enter:
(config)#
no sntp poll-interval
Showing SNTP Configuration Information
To display the SNTP configuration information on the CSS, enter the
show sntp
global
command. For example:
(config)#
show sntp global
