6.1.10 NTP
Specify the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to query for the current time to maintain an
accurate time on the switch, ensuring the system log records meaningful dates and times for
event entries. With NTP, the switch can set its internal clock periodically according to an NTP
time server. Otherwise, the switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last
bootup. When the NTP client is enabled, the switch regularly sends a request for a time update to
a configured time server. A maximum of five time servers are supported. The switch will attempt
to poll each server in the configured sequence.
