Simple Network Time Protocol
The HP 1810 series switch software supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP ensures
accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is
performed by a network SNTP server. The software operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide
time services to other systems.
The SNTP server port of 123 is used by default. A log message is generated when the configured SNTP
server is unreachable.
Note SNTP acquires the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from an SNTP server. Configure the Time Zone
(see page 3-6) and Daylight Saving Time (see page 3-7) to configure the offsets for your local time zone.
To display the SNTP page, click Network Setup > SNTP in the navigation pane.
