Setting the system clock
5
To display information about SNTP status, enter the following command.
Syntax: show sntp status
The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp status command.
Setting the system clock
In addition to SNTP support, the device also allows you to set the system time counter. It starts the
system time and date clock with the time and date you specify. The time counter setting is not
retained across power cycles and is not automatically synchronized with an SNTP server.
NOTE
To synchronize the time counter with your SNTP server time, enter the sntp sync command from the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
NOTE
Unless you identify an SNTP server for the system time and date, you will need to re-enter the time
and date following each reboot.
For more details about SNTP, refer to “Specifying a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server” on
page 127.
To set the system time and date to 10:15:05 on October 15, 2005, enter the following command.
BigIron RX# clock set 10:15:05 10-15-05
Syntax: [no] clock set <hh:mm:ss> <mm-dd-yy> | <mm-dd-yyyy>
