5 Optionally, the interval for which the SNTP client updates the real-time clock of the switch can be
changed using the following command:
config sntp-client update-interval <seconds>
The default sntp-client update-interval value is 64 seconds.
6 You can verify the configuration using the following commands:
—
show sntp-client
This command provides configuration and statistics associated with SNTP and its connectivity to
the SNTP server.
—
show switch
This command indicates the GMT offset, Daylight Savings Time, and the current local time.
NTP updates are distributed using GMT time. To properly display the local time in logs and other
timestamp information, the switch should be configured with the appropriate offset to GMT based on
geographical location. Table 23 describes GMT offsets.
