CLI: Set the Named SNTP Server NETGEAR provides SNTP servers accessible by NETGEAR devices. Because NETGEAR might change IP addresses assigned to its time servers, it is best to access an SNTP server by DNS name instead of using a hard-coded IP address. The public time servers available are time-a, time-b, and time-c. Enable a DNS name server and access a time server with the following commands: (Netgear switch) (config)#ip domain-lookup (Netgear switch) (config)#ip name-server 192.168.1.1 (Netgear switch) (config)#sntp server time-a.netgear.com where 192.168.1.1 is the public network gateway IP address for your device. This method of setting DNS name look-up can be used for any other applications that require a public IP address, for example, a RADIUS server. SNTP 413 Software Administration Manual
