The switch software supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). As its name
suggests, it is a less complicated version of Network Time Protocol, which is a system for
synchronizing the clocks of networked computer systems, primarily when data transfer is
handled through the Internet.

1. Launch a web browser

2. In the address field of your web browser
, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens.
