ADD SNTPSERVER PEER|IPADDRESS

Syntax

add sntpserver peer|ipaddress=

ipaddress

Parameter

peer or

Specifies the IP address of an SNTP server. These

ipaddress

parameters are equivalent.

Description

This command adds the IP address of an SNTP or NTP server to the
SNTP client on the switch. The switch uses the SNTP or NTP server to set
its date and time. You can specify only one SNTP or NTP server.

Note

The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet leading
to the SNTP or NTP server. The switch uses the IP address of the
interface as its source address to communicate with the server. For
instructions on how to add a routing interface to the switch, refer to
“ADD IP INTERFACE” on page 642.

If the routing interface obtains its IP address and subnet mask from
a DHCP sever, you can configure the DHCP server to provide the
switch with an IP address of an NTP or SNTP server. If you
configured the DHCP server to provide this address, then you do not
need to enter it with this command.

Example

The following command specifies the IP address of 148.35.16.248 for the
SNTP server:

add sntpserver ipaddress=148.35.16.248
