Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
IMPORTANT: If the system clock is set and power is lost to the interconnect switch, manual time
settings are reset to factory defaults when the interconnect switch is powered on. If this occurs,
manually reset the date and time. If SNTP is configured, losing power has no effect, so no manual
resetting of time is required.
To configure time settings:
1. Highlight Configure Time on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Configure Time screen allows you to configure the current time and date, enable SNTP,
set the SNTP parameters, and set the parameters for daylight saving time.
The screen displays the following:
— Boot Time—The date and time when the switch was last rebooted
— Current Time—The current date and time (after they have initially been set or
SNTP configured)
— Time Source—The method in which the GbE Interconnect Switch gets the current
time information: System Clock, Primary SNTP Server, or Secondary SNTP Server
Complete the following fields to configure the time information:
— Set Current Time—This field will be grayed out when SNTP is enabled. To
manually set the current type, enter the following:
— Time—Type the current time in hh:mm:ss format. Leading zeros (0) are not
required.
— Day—Type the first two letters of the current day of the week: Mo, Tu, We, Th,
Fr, Sa, or Su.
— Month—Select the abbreviation for the current month.
— Year—Type the last two digits of the current year.
