System Time.

If the switch is obtaining its IP address and subnet mask from a
DHCP server, 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 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

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.

switch’s ability to adjust its system time to daylight savings time. The
following prompt is displayed:

Adjust for Daylight Savings Time (E - Enabled,
D - Disabled) ->

9. Type E to enable daylight savings time and allow the switch to adjust

system time to daylight savings time. This is the default value. Type D
to disable daylight savings time and not allow the switch to adjust
system time to daylight savings time.
