sntp client

This command enables SNTP client requests for time synchronization from NTP or SNTP time
servers specified with the

sntp server

command. Use the no form to disable SNTP client requests.

Syntax

[no] sntp client

Default Setting

Disabled

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates and times for log events.
Without SNTP, the switch only records the time starting from the factory default set at the last
bootup (i.e., 00:00:00, Jan. 1, 2001).

This command enables client time requests to time servers specified via the

sntp server

command. It issues time synchronization requests based on the interval set via the

sntp poll

command.

Example

Console(config)#sntp server 10.1.0.19

Console(config)#sntp poll 60

Console(config)#sntp client

Console(config)#end

Console#show sntp

Current Time: Dec 23 02:52:44 2002
