Procedure
1. View the current time synchronization.
2. Select SNTP as the time synchronization mode.
3. Enable SNTP for Broadcast mode.
4. View the SNTP configuration again to verify the configuration.
The commands and output would appear as follows:
Figure 4: Enabling SNTP operation in Broadcast Mode
switch(config)# show sntp
1
SNTP Configuration
Time Sync Mode: Timep
SNTP Mode : disabled
Poll Interval (sec) [720] :720
switch(config)# timesync sntp
switch(config)# sntp broadcast
switch(config)# show sntp
2
SNTP Configuration
Time Sync Mode: Sntp
SNTP Mode : Broadcast
Poll Interval (sec) [720] :720
•
1
show sntp displays the SNTP configuration and also shows that TimeP is the currently
active time synchronization mode.
•
2
show sntp again displays the SNTP configuration and shows that SNTP is now the
currently active time synchronization mode and is configured for broadcast operation.
Enabling SNTP in unicast mode (CLI)
Like broadcast mode, configuring SNTP for unicast mode enables SNTP. However, for unicast operation, you
must also specify the IP address of at least one SNTP server. The switch allows up to three unicast servers. You
can use the Menu interface or the CLI to configure one server or to replace an existing unicast server with
another. To add a second or third server, you must use the CLI. For more on SNTP operation with multiple
servers, see SNTP unicast time polling with multiple SNTP servers on page 37
Syntax:
timesync sntp
Selects SNTP as the time synchronization method.
Syntax:
sntp unicast
Configures the SNTP mode for unicast operation.
