Note
The switch does not set DST automatically. If the switch is in a locale
that uses DST, you must remember to enable this in April when DST
begins and disable it in October when DST ends. If the switch is in a
locale that does not use DST, this option should be set to disabled all
the time.
10. Type 6 to select Poll Interval to specify the time interval between
queries to the SNTP server.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter interval to poll SNTP server [60 to 1200]
-> 600
11. Enter the number of seconds the switch waits between polling the
SNTP or NTP server. The default is 600 seconds. The range is from 60
to 1200 seconds.
12. Type 2 to select SNTP Status to enable or disable the SNTP client.
The following prompt is displayed:
SNTP Status (E-Enabled, D-Disabled) ->
13. Type E to enable SNTP client software on the switch or D to disable
the NTP client software and press Return. The default is disabled.
After SNTP is enabled, the switch immediately polls the SNTP or
NTP server for the current date and time. (The switch also
automatically polls the server whenever a change is made to any
of the parameters in this menu, so long as SNTP is enabled.)
The Last Delta option in the menu displays the last adjustment
that was applied to system time due to a drift in the system clock
between two successive queries to the SNTP server. This is a read
only field.
Option U, Update System Time, allows you to prompt the switch
to poll the SNTP or NTP server for the current time and date. You
can use this selection to update the time and date immediately
rather than wait for the switch’s next polling period. This selection
has no effect if you set the date and time manually.
14. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
