Synchronizing local time using NTP

Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time using NTP.

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Enter the tsClockServer command:

   switch:admin> tsclockserver  ""
   

   where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand "" is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server.

   switch:admin> tsclockserver
   LOCL
   switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
    
   switch:admin> tsclockserver
   132.163.135.131
   switch:admin>

   The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:

   switch:admin> tsclockserver
    "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
   Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
   Updated with the NTP servers
   Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.
