Fabric OS Commands The NTP server used MUST support a full NTP client. Fabric OS V3.1.x and v2.6.1 have an SNTP client and hence will accept an SNTP or NTP server, but V4.1.x has an NTP client. So for the proper functioning of a mixed fabric with external time synchronization it is necessary that an NTP server that supports a full NTP client be used. The ipaddr specified should be the IP address of an NTP server and should be accessible from the switch. When a clock server IP address other than LOCL is specified but is not used by the fabric, a warning is displayed and logged. When a clock server IP address other than LOCL is specified, the date command will be restricted to display only. See the date command for more details. Operands This command has the following operand: ipaddr Specify the IP address of the NTP server. This operand is optional. By default this value is "LOCL." If no operand is specified the current value is displayed. Example The following example shows how to display the current clock server value (LOCL), set the value to an NTP server at the specified IP address, and then verify that the new IP address was saved: switch:admin> tsclockserver LOCL switch:admin> tsclockserver "11.22.33.44" switch:admin> tsclockserver 11.22.33.44 switch:admin> See Also date 862 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
