New Time Synchronization Protocol Options
Menu Interface Operation with Multiple SNTP Server Addresses
Configured
When you use the Menu interface to configure an SNTP server IP address, the new address writes
over the current primary address, if one is configured. If there are multiple addresses configured, the
switch re-orders the addresses according to the criteria described under “Address Prioritization” on
page 205. For example, suppose the switch already has the following three SNTP server IP addresses
configured.
10.28.227.141 (primary)
10.28.227.153 (secondary)
10.29.227.100 (tertiary)
If you use the Menu interface to add 10.28.227.160, the new prioritized list will be:
SNTP Messages in the Event Log
If an SNTP time change of more than three seconds occurs, the switch’s event log records the change.
SNTP time changes of less than three seconds do not appear in the Event Log.
New Address List Address Status
10.28.227.153 New Primary (The former primary, 10.28.227.141 was deleted when you used the menu to add
10.28.227.160.)
10.28.227.160 New Secondary
10.29.227.100 Same Tertiary (This address still has the highest decimal value.)
