Cancelling an outbound Telnet session
If you want to cancel a Telnet session from the console to a remote Telnet server (for example, if the
connection is frozen), you can terminate the Telnet session by doing the following.
1. At the console, press Ctrl+^ (Ctrl+Shift-6).
2. Press the X key to terminate the Telnet session.
Pressing Ctrl+^ twice in a row causes a single Ctrl+^ character to be sent to the Telnet server. After
you press Ctrl+^, pressing any key other than X or Ctrl+^ returns you to the Telnet session.
Specifying a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server
You can configure the device to consult SNTP servers for the current time and date.
NOTE
PowerConnect devices do not retain time and date information across power cycles. Unless you
want to reconfigure the system time counter each time the system is reset, Dell recommends that
you use the SNTP feature.
To identify an SNTP server with IP address 208.99.8.95 to act as the clock reference for a device,
enter the following.
PowerConnect(config)# sntp server 208.99.8.95
Syntax: sntp server ip-addr | hostname [version]
The version parameter specifies the SNTP version the server is running and can be from 1 – 4. The
default is 1. You can configure up to three SNTP servers by entering three separate sntp server
commands.
By default, the device polls its SNTP server every 30 minutes (1800 seconds). To configure the
device to poll for clock updates from a SNTP server every 15 minutes, enter the following.
PowerConnect(config)# sntp poll-interval 900
Syntax: [no] sntp poll-interval 1-65535
To display information about SNTP associations, enter the following command.
Syntax: show sntp associations
The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp associations command.
