Synchronizing local time using NTP
Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time using NTP.
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"
Where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the
switch must be able to access. The value ntp2 is the name of the second
NTP server and is optional. The entire operand “<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by
default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or
primary switch as the clock server.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
