Command Usage
◆ The time acquired from time servers is used to record accurate dates and times
for log events. Without SNTP, 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
sntp server command. It issues time synchronization requests based on the
interval set via the sntp poll command.
