Description
Configures an NTP server for the switch to obtain time information.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Queries are first sent to the primary server. If the primary server does not respond within 1 second, or if
it is not synchronized, the switch queries the second server. If the switch cannot obtain the time, it
restarts the query process. Otherwise, the switch waits for the
sntp-client update interval
before
querying again.
Example
The following command configures a primary NTP server:
configure sntp-client primary server 10.1.2.2
