Time Commands
The system clock can be dynamically set by polling a set of specified time
servers (NTP or SNTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the switch
enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event
entries. If the clock is not set, the switch will only record the time from the
factory default set at the last bootup.
sntp client
This command enables SNTP client requests for time synchronization
from NTP or SNTP time servers specified with the
sntp servers
command. Use the no form to disable SNTP client requests.
