ii. Enter the IP address of the SNTP server you want the switch to
use for time synchronization.
Note: This step replaces any previously configured server IP
address. If you
will be using backup SNTP servers (requires use of the CLI), then
see
“SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page
20.
iii. Press [v] to move the cursor to the
Server Version field. Enter the
value that matches the SNTP server version running on the device
you specified in the preceding step (step ii). If you are unsure
which version to use, HP recommends leaving this value at the
default setting of
3 and testing SNTP operation to determine
whether any change is necessary.
Note: Using the menu to enter the IP address for an SNTP server
when the switch already has one or more SNTP servers config-
ured causes the switch to delete the primary SNTP server from
the server list and to select a new primary SNTP server from the
IP address(es) in the updated list. For more on this topic, see
“SNTP Unicast Time Polling with Multiple SNTP Servers” on page
8-20.

Poll Interval field, then go to step

Interval. (For Poll Interval operation, see table 8-1, “SNTP Parameters”,
on page 8-5.)
7. Press [Enter] to return to the Actions line, then [S] (for
Save) to enter the
new time protocol configuration in both the startup-config and running-
config files.
