Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters
42
Server IP Address— Specify the IPv4 address of an SNTP or
NTP server.
The IPv4 format is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is a decimal number
from 0 to 255.
Note
If the local interface on the switch is obtaining its IP address and
subnet mask from a DHCP server, you can configure the server to
provide the interface with an IP address of an NTP or SNTP server.
If you configured the server to provide this address, then you do not
need to enter it here.
Time Zone— Select the time zone as a measurement of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is the default setting. Use the
pull-down menu to select the other time zones.
Daylight Saving— Enable or disable the system’s adjustment for
daylight savings time. The default is disabled.
Note
The switch does not set daylight saving time (DST) automatically. If
the switch is in a locale that uses DST, you must remember to
enable this in March when DST begins and disable it in October
when DST ends. If the switch is in a locale that does not use DST,
this option should be set to disabled all the time.
6. Click Apply.
If you enabled the SNTP client, the switch immediately polls the SNTP
or SNTP server for the current date and time. (When SNTP is enabled,
the switch automatically polls the server whenever a change is made
to any of the fields on this page.)
7. Click SAVE
to save your changes to the startup configuration file.
