System Time
The commands in this chapter congure time values on the system, either using the Dell Networking OS, the hardware, or using the
network time protocol (NTP). With NTP, the switch can act only as a client to an NTP clock host.
For more information, refer to the Network Time Protocol section of the Management chapter in the Dell Networking OS Conguration
Guide.
The NTP commands are:
• show clock
• clock set
• clock summer-time date
• clock summer-time recurring
Topics:
• clock set
• clock summer-time date
• clock summer-time recurring
• debug ntp
• ntp oset-threshold
• ntp server
• ntp authenticate
• ntp authentication-key
• ntp control-key-passwd
• ntp master <stratum>
• ntp server
• ntp source
• ntp trusted-key
• show clock
