Updating the Hardware Clock
On devices that have hardware clocks (system calendars), you can configure the hardware clock to be
periodically updated from the software clock. This is advisable for devices using NTP, because the time and
date on the software clock (set using NTP) is more accurate than the hardware clock. The time setting on the
hardware clock has the potential to drift slightly over time.
No specific command enables NTP; the first NTP configuration command that you issue enables NTP.Note
