IP Services Commands
set ntp
Enables or disables the NTP client on a DWS-1008 switch.
Syntax set ntp {enable | disable}
enable Enables the NTP client.
disable Disables the NTP client.
Defaults: The NTP client is disabled by default.
Access: Enabled
Usage: If NTP is configured on a system whose current time differs from the NTP server time
by more than 10 minutes, convergence of the switch time can take many NTP update
intervals. D-Link recommends that you set the time manually to the NTP server time
before enabling NTP to avoid a significant delay in convergence.
Examples: The following command enables the NTP client:
DWS-1008# set ntp enable
success: NTP Client enabled
set ntp server
Configures a DWS-1008 switch to use an NTP server.
Syntax: set ntp server ip-addr
ip-addr IP address of the NTP server, in dotted decimal notation.
Defaults: None
Access: Enabled
Usage: You can configure up to three NTP servers. MSS queries all the servers and selects
the best response based on the method described in RFC 1305, Network Time
Protocol (Version 3) Specification, Implementation and Analysis.
To use NTP, you also must enable the NTP client with the set ntp command.
Examples The following command configures a switch to use NTP server 192.168.1.5:
DWS-1008# set ntp server 192.168.1.5
