System Time
The commands in this chapter configure time values on the system, either using the Dell Networking OS,
the hardware, or using the network time protocol (NTP). With NTP, the switch can act only as a client to
an NTP clock host.
The NTP commands are:
• ntp server
• show clock
• clock set
• clock summer-time date
• clock summer-time recurring
• clock timezone
ntp server
Configure an NTP time-serving host.
Syntax ntp server {ipv4-address}

Defaults Not configured.

Usage
Information
You can configure multiple time-serving hosts (up to 250). From these time-
serving hosts, the operating system chooses one NTP host with which to
synchronize.
Because many polls to NTP hosts can impact network performance, Dell
Networking recommends limiting the number of hosts configured.
