NOTE: If you enter <CR> after entering the recurring command parameter, and you have already set a one-time
daylight saving time/date, the system uses that time and date as the recurring setting.
To view the clock summer-time recurring parameters, use the clock summer-time <time> recurring ? command.

Configuring a Custom-defined Period for NTP time
Synchronization
You can configure the system to send an audit log message to a syslog server if the time difference from the NTP server is greater than a
threshold value (offset-threshold). However, time synchronization still occurs. To configure the offset-threshold, follow this procedure.
• Specify the threshold time interval before which the system generates an NTP audit log message if the system time deviates from the
NTP server.
CONFIGURATION mode
ntp offset-threshold threshold-value
The range for threshold-value is from 0 to 999.
