Introduction
Simple Network Time Protocol
The interconnect switch can maintain the current date and time. This information displays on
the management interfaces and is used to record the date and time of switch events. Current
date and time information can be manually set on the interconnect swithc or can be obtained
through Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP allows the interconnect switch to
send a request to a primary or secondary SNTP server in each polling period asking for the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If the primary SNTP server is not available, the request is
sent to a secondary SNTP server.
User Account Management
For increased security, separate user accounts can be set up with various levels of permission.
External Components
This section describes the external panel and LED indicators of the ProLiant BL e-Class
C-GbE Interconnect Switch.
External Panel
The external panel of each interconnect switch has four RJ-45 connectors with Gigabit
Ethernet uplink connectivity for network cabling. In addition, there are two Integrated
Administrator connectors (one RJ-45 and one serial port) that support remote and local
out-of-band management of the interconnect switch through a browser, SNMP/RMON, and
Telnet console interfaces.
