COMMAND USAGE
◆ The SNTP and NTP clients cannot be enabled at the same time. First
disable the SNTP client before using this command.
◆ The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates
and times for log events. Without NTP, the switch only records the time
starting from the factory default set at the last bootup (i.e., 00:00:00,
Jan. 1, 2001).
◆ This command enables client time requests to time servers specified via
the ntp servers command. It issues time synchronization requests
based on the interval set via the ntp poll command.
