Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
Setting SNTP Parameters
When SNTP is enabled on the GbE Interconnect Switch, the interconnect switch sends a
request to a primary SNTP server in each period of a specified polling interval asking for
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If the primary SNTP server is not available, the request is
sent to a secondary SNTP server.
Use the following command to set the IP addresses for the primary and secondary SNTP
server and specify the polling interval:
Command Description
sntp set
{
[primary <ip_addr>]
[secondary <ip_addr>]
[poll-interval <poll_interval>]
}
Sets the IP address for the primary SNTP
server and secondary SNTP server, and the
polling interval for requesting the time from the
server
Type one or more of the following optional
parameters in the command:
• primary <ip_addr>—Type primary and the
IP address for the primary SNTP server.
• secondary <ip_addr>—Type secondary
and the IP address for the secondary SNTP
server.
