Setting the
System Time
from an SNTP or
NTP Server
To configure the switch to obtain its date and time from an SNTP or NTP
server on your network or the Internet, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 60.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 2 to select System
Configuration.
The System Configuration menu is shown in Figure 5 on page 61.
3. From the System Configuration menu, type 8 to select Configure
System Time.
The Configure System Time menu is shown in Figure 8 on page 67.
4. Type 3 to select SNTP Server and enter the IP address of an SNTP or
NTP server.
Note
If the local interface on the switch is obtaining its IP address and
subnet mask from a DHCP server, you can configure the server to
provide the interface with an IP address of an NTP or SNTP server.
If you configured the server to provide this address, then you do not
need to enter it here, and you can skip ahead to step 5.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter SNTP server IP address ->
5. Enter an IP address of an SNTP or NTP server.
6. Type 4 to select UTC Offset to specify the difference between the UTC
and local time.
Note
If the switch is using DHCP, it automatically attempts to determine
this value. In this case, you do not need to configure a value for the
UTC Offset parameter.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter UTC Offset [-12 to 12] -> 0
7. Enter a UTC Offset time.
The default is 0 hours. The range is -12 to +12 hours.
