Supermicro switches can synchronize their time with that of an NTP server. Follow the below steps to
configure NTP server parameters.
Step
Command
Description
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters the configuration mode
Step 2
ntp server <ip_address> [key (1-65535)] [prefer]
Configure the NTP server.
ip_addr – IP address of server.
key – Authentication Key for server
connectivity in the range 1-65535.
prefer –This option can be used to
specify a preferred NTP server when
multiple NTP servers are configured in
the switch. Only 1 server can be
configured ‘prefer’ at a time.
Step 3

Step 4
show ntp

Step 5
write startup-config
Optional step – saves this configuration

The “enable agent” command enables the agent. NTP servers can be deleted only when NTP
status is disabled.
If a key is configured on Supermicro switches acting as NTP client, ensure the same key is
configured on the NTP server(s) as well.
The example below shows the commands used to configure an NTP server.
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# ntp server 200.200.200.10 key 100 prefer
SMIS(config)# ntp server 100.100.100.1 key 500
SMIS(config)# end
SMIS# show ntp
[NTP] ntp is disabled
