Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal
clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).
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 using the CLI. (See “calendar set” on page 3-59.) If the clock
is not set, the switch will only record the time from the factory default set
at the last bootup.
This switch acts in a unicast mode. 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.
