Conguring NTP control key password
The Network Time Protocal daemon (NTPD) design uses NTPQ to congure NTPD. NTP control key supports encrypted and unencrypted
password options. The ntp control-key- passwd command authenticates NTPQ packets. The default control-key-passwd
authenticates the NTPQ packets until the user changes the control-key using the ntp control-key- passwd command.
To congure NTP control key password, use the following command.
Congure NTP control key password.
CONFIGURATION mode
ntp control-key-passwd [encryption-type] password
Conguring a Custom-dened Period for NTP time
Synchronization
You can congure the system to send an audit log message to a syslog server if the time dierence from the NTP server is greater than a
threshold value (oset-threshold). However, time synchronization still occurs. To congure the oset-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.

Dell EMC Networking OS Time and Date
You can set the time and date using the Dell EMC Networking OS CLI.
Conguration Task List
The following is a conguration task list for conguring the time and date settings.
• Setting the Time and Date for the Switch Software Clock
• Setting the Timezone
• Setting Daylight Saving Time Once
• Setting Recurring Daylight Saving Time
