Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal clock based on periodic
updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the
system log to record meaningful dates and times for event entries. You can also manually set the
clock. If the clock is not set manually or via SNTP, the switch will only record the time from the
factory default set at the last bootup.
When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request for a time update to a
configured time server. You can configure up to three time server IP addresses. The switch will
attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
Setting the Time Manually
Use the System > Time (Configure General - Manual) page to set the system time on the switch
manually without using SNTP.
