Configuring and Using SNTP
To use SNTP, follow these steps:
1
Identify the host(s) that are configured as NTP server(s). Additionally, identify the preferred method
for obtaining NTP updates. The options are for the NTP server to send out broadcasts or for
switches using NTP to query the NTP server(s) directly. A combination of both methods is possible.
You must identify the method that should be used for the switch being configured.
2
Configure the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset and Daylight Saving Time preference. The
command syntax to configure GMT offset and usage of Daylight Saving Time is as follows:
configure timezone {name <std_timezone_ID>} <GMT_offset>
{autodst {name <dst_timezone_ID>} {<dst_offset>}
{begins [every <floatingday> | on <absoluteday>] {at <time_of_day_hour>
<time_of_day_minutes>}
{ends [every <floatingday> | on <absoluteday>] {at <time_of_day_hour>
<time_of_day_minutes>}}}
By default, Daylight Saving Time is assumed to begin on the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM, and
end the last Sunday in October at 2:00 AM and to be offset from standard time by one hour. If this is
the case in your time zone, you can set up automatic daylight savings adjustment with the
command:
configure timezone <GMT_offset> autodst
If your time zone uses starting and ending dates and times that differ from the default, you can
specify the starting and ending date and time in terms of a floating day, as follows:
configure timezone name MET 60 autodst name MDT begins every last sunday march at
1 30 ends every last sunday october at 1 30
You can also specify a specific date and time, as shown in the following command:
configure timezone name NZST 720 autodst name NZDT 60 begins every first sunday
october at 2 00 ends on 3 16 2004 at 2 00
The optional time zone IDs are used to identify the time zone in display commands such as
show
switch {detail}
.
Table 14
describes the command options in detail.
Table 14: Time zone configuration command options
GMT_offset

std-timezone-ID
Specifies an optional name for this timezone specification. May be up to six characters in
length. The default is an empty string.
autodst
Enables automatic Daylight Savings Time.

Specifies an offset from standard time, in minutes. Value is in the range of 1 to 60.
Default is 60 minutes.
floating_day
Specifies the day, week, and month of the year to begin or end Daylight Savings Time
