SNTP Example
In this example, the 480T routing switch queries a specific NTP
server and a backup NTP server. An update occurs every 20
minutes. The commands to configure the switch are:
configure timezone -480 autodst
configure sntp-client update interval 1200
enable sntp-client
configure sntp-client primary server 10.0.1.1
configure sntp-client secondary server 10.0.1.2

Command Description
configure sntp-client [primary | secondary]
server [<ipaddress> | <host_name>]

does not respond within 1 second, or if it is
not synchronized, the switch queries the
second server.
configure sntp-client update-interval
<seconds>
Configures the interval between polling for
time information from SNTP servers. The
default setting is
64.
