Note: Use “ECS4120-Series.cfg” for the vendor-class-identifier in the dhcpd.conf
file.
Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) or Network Time Protocol (NTP) can be used
to set the switch’s internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server.
Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log to record
meaningful dates and times for event entries. You can also manually set the clock. If
the clock is not set manually or via SNTP or NTP, the switch will only record the time
from the factory default set at the last bootup.
When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request for a time
update to a configured time server. You can configure up to three time server IP
addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
The switch also supports the following time settings:
◆
Time Zone – You can specify the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC),
also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
◆
Summer Time/Daylight Saving Time (DST) – In some regions, the time shifts by
one hour in the fall and spring. The switch supports manual entry for one-time
or recurring clock shifts.
