6.4.5 System Time
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP which is an
Internet protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers to a specified time
reference. Because time usually just advances, the time on different node stations
will be different. With the communicating programs running on those devices, it would
cause time to jump forward and back, a non-desirable effect. Therefore, the switch
provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and frequency
dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local clock
in each participating subnet peer.
Daylight saving time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons
have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward
one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.
Time zone: Universal Time Coordinated. Set the switch location time zone. The
following table lists the different location time zone for your reference.
