Setting the Date/Time and Enabling NTP Client
The Date/Time dialog enables you to manually set the date, time, and time zone
on a switch, or to enable the NTP Client to synchronize the date and time on the
switch with an NTP server. Enabling the NTP client ensures the consistency of
date and time stamps in alarms and log entries. An Ethernet connection to an NTP
server is required. To set the date and time on a switch, do the following:
1. Open the Switch menu, and select Set Date/Time.
2. Choose one of the following:
Enter the year, month, day, time, and time zone in the Switch
Date/Time dialog, then click OK. The new date and time take effect
immediately.
Select the NTP Client Enabled option to enable the switch to
synchronize its time with an NTP server. Enter the IP address of the
NTP server. Ethernet connection to NTP server is required. Click the
OK button to save the settings.
