 To configure a new SNTP Server:
1. Use the Server T
ype field to specify the address type of the configured SNTP Server
address. Possible values are:
• IPv4
• IPv6
• DNS
The default value is IPv4.
2. In the Address field, specify the address of the SNTP server
. This is a text string of up to 64
characters, containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of an SNTP server.
Unicast SNTP requests will be sent to this address. If this address is a DNS hostname, then
that hostname should be resolved into an IP address each time an SNTP request is sent to
it.
3. Enter a Port number on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent.
The valid
range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 123.
4. Specify the Priority of this server entry in determining the sequence of servers to which
SNTP requests will be sent.
The client continues sending requests to different servers until a
successful response is received, or all servers are exhausted. This object indicates the order
in which to query the servers. A server entry with a precedence of 1 will be queried before a
server with a priority of 2, and so forth. If more than one server has the same priority, then
the requesting order will follow the lexicographical ordering of the entries in this table. The
valid range is 1 to 3. The default value is 1.
5. Specify the NTP V
ersion running on the server. The range is 1 to 4. The default value is 4.
6. Click Add to add an SNTP Server entry
. This sends the updated configuration to the switch.
Configuration changes take effect immediately.
7. Repeat the previous steps to add additional SNTP servers.
You can configure up to three
SNTP servers.
