Time
The system clock can be dynamically set by polling a set of specified time servers
(NTP or SNTP). Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log
to record meaningful dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not set, the
switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.
SNTP Commands
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.
