Time and Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Overview

The commands in this chapter configure time values on the system, either using FTOS, or 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 details, see the “Network Time Protocol” section of the Management chapter in

the FTOS Configuration Guide.

The commands in this chapter are generally supported on the C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series, with

some exceptions, as noted in the Command History fields and by these symbols under the command

headings:
