Installation and Operations Manual
Setting the SNTP server address:
The Set SNTP command is used to set the primary and secondary SNTP server addresses.
To set the SNTP server address:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set sntp, followed by primary or secondary, and the SNTP server IP address or
hostname. Press Enter.
NOTES:
The primary/secondary IP addresses contact the SNTP server; these addresses are populated with the external NTP pool time zones
“2.servertech.pool.ntp.org” and “1.servertech.pool.ntp.org” as default for new PDUs that have not yet been time set.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted for primary/secondary IP address or hostname.
Examples
The following command sets the primary SNTP server address to 204.152.184.72:
Switched CDU: set sntp primary 204.152.184.72
The following command sets the secondary SNTP server address to cuckoo.nevada.edu:
Switched CDU: set sntp secondary cuckoo.nevada.edu
Setting the local GMT offset (hours/minutes):
The Set SNTP GMToffset command sets the offset from GMT for the date/time returned by SNTP.
The GMT offset supports all standard international time zones from -12:59 to +14.59. The GMT offset can be set in
minutes to accommodate partial-hour time zones.
NOTE: The PDU does not support automatic adjustment for Daylight Saving Time (DST).
To set the local GMT offset:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set sntp gmtoffset, followed by the offset value, and press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the local GMT offset to -12:
Switched CDU: set sntp gmtoffset -12

The Show SNTP command displays all SNTP configuration information.
To display SNTP configuration information
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type show sntp and press Enter.
