M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Configure the SNTP Global Settings To configure the SNTP global settings: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4. Select System > Management > Time > Time Configuration > SNTP Global Configuration. When you select the SNTP option as the Clock Source, the SNTP Global Configuration section is displayed below the Time Configuration section of the page. 5. Select a Client mode radio button to specify the mode of operation of the SNTP client: • Disable. SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client and no received SNTP messages are processed. • Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative to the server. • Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address has a single subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope. Configure System Information 66 User Manual
