Network Time Protocol
NTP or Network Time Protocol is a useful tool designed to update your switch with the most
accurate time available from a user specified time source. This is useful for the end user in
that the switch logging is noted with the actual time rather than the default switch time
(begins on Jan 1st, 2010) as it can aid debugging switching related problems by showing an
accurate time an event occurred.
