3.6 SNTP Client Configuration

Use the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) Client Configuration screen to configure the
9145ELB to use a primary and secondary SNTP Server to automatically set the date and time.
An accurate date and time in the 9145ELB assures accuracy for events listed in the System Log
and for traps and alarms sent to the system administrator. You can choose either of two methods
for setting the date and time, depending on your access to an external network and your need for
accuracy.

For accuracy within a large network, you can set up the 9145ELB to synchronize the sys-

tem date and time to an SNTP server.

The time and date can be set manually. See “Set Date and Time” on page 78 for more

information.

To configure SNTP, select SNTP Client Configuration (7) from the System Configuration menu
and press Enter. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client Configuration screen (Figure
3-23
) opens.

On the SNTP client Configuration screen, type the number of the SNTP setting to change and
then press Enter.

Press the Space bar to view settings, and press Enter.

1. SNTP Client UTC Offset (hours) The difference, in hours, between the local time of the

9145ELB and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is similar to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT); Range is -12 to 12
