Showing SNTP Configuration Information

OL-6037-01
Use the sntp server command to specify the SNTP server. The syntax for this
command is:
sntp server ip_address {version number}
The options and variables are as follows:
server ip_address - The IP address for the SNTP server. Enter an IP address
•
in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.1.0).
version number - The version number of the SNTP server. Enter a version
•
number between 1 and 4. The default is 1.
To configure an SNTP server (running version number 3), enter:
(config)# sntp server 192.168.19.21 version 3
To remove the specified SNTP server, enter:
(config)# no sntp server
The poll interval is the time (in seconds) between successive SNTP request
messages to the server. Continuous polling is critical for the CSS to obtain time
from the SNTP server and ensure the local time matches the "real time" of the
server. Use the sntp poll-interval command to specify the poll interval for SNTP
request messages. The valid entries are 16 to 16284 seconds. The default is 64
seconds.
To specify an SNTP poll-interval of 90 seconds, enter:
(config)# sntp poll-interval 90
To return the SNTP poll-interval to the default setting of 64 seconds, enter:
(config)# no sntp poll-interval
To display the SNTP configuration information on the CSS, enter the show sntp
global command. For example:
(config)# show sntp global
