Viewing or changing the IP time server address
A time server is a server that provides the date and time, as specified by RFC 868,
such as a UNIX machine running ‘timed’ to the M770 ATM Switch. You must
provide the M770 ATM Switch with the IP address of a time server or set the M770
ATM Switch to discover the server on the network by broadcasting requests. To
view the time received from the time server, use the
system time
command in
Chapter 17 Managing System Commands. To view the current time server, use
the
ip timeserver
command.
To set or change the time server, use the
ip timeserver
command.
Using PING
The M770 ATM Switch allows you to PING an IP address. The M770 ATM Switch
will send one Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to the
address each second until you press CTRL-C. Whenever the remote device
responds, the time taken to respond is displayed in milliseconds.
