Configuring GbE Interconnect Switch Date and Time
The GbE Interconnect Switch can maintain the current date and time. This information
displays on the management interfaces and is used to record the date and time of interconnect
switch events in the history log.
When a new GbE Interconnect Switch is first booted up, the firmware clock starts at zero (0)
and counts the seconds since bootup. In order for the clock to display the real date and time,
you must either
•
•
•
•
•
Manually set the date and time on the interconnect switch, or
Enable Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) on the GbE Interconnect Switch, and then
set the SNTP parameters.
SNTP allows the switch to synchronize its real time to the network time. When SNTP is
enabled, the GbE Interconnect Switch sends a request to a primary SNTP server in each
period of a specified polling interval asking for the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If the
primary SNTP server is not available, the request is sent to a secondary SNTP server.
When SNTP is enabled, the following events cause the GbE Interconnect Switch to request
the date and time through SNTP:
The polling interval time expires.
Changes are made to the configuration settings for Daylight Saving Time, time zone,
SNTP Server 1 or Server 2, or polling interval.
SNTP state is changed from disabled to enabled.
