Configuring the Poll Interval for the SNTP Server
Continuous polling is critical for the CSS to obtain time from the SNTP server and
ensure the local time matches the “real time” of the server. The poll interval is the
time in seconds between successive SNTP request messages to the server. By
default, this interval is 64 seconds. To configure the poll interval for SNTP request
message, use the following command:
sntp [primary-server-poll-interval | secondary-server-poll-interval]
seconds
The keywords and variable are:
• primary-server-poll-interval - Configures the poll interval for the primary
SNTP server.
• secondary-server-poll-interval - Configures the poll interval for the
secondary SNTP server.
• seconds - The poll interval in seconds between successive SNTP request
messages to the server. Enter a value from 16 to 16284 seconds. The default
is 64 seconds
For example, to specify a poll-interval of 90 seconds for the primary SNTP server,
enter:
(config)# sntp primary-server-poll-interval 90
To reset the poll-interval for the primary SNTP server to the default setting of
64 seconds, enter:
(config)# no sntp primary-server-poll-interval
