Setting SNTP Time for SG500

[reginachh]

Hi,

I had connected a computer and NTP to the SG500. i had successfullly sync the internet time on the computer. but when i type 'show clock' on the terminal. The switch did not manage to sync the ntp time.

below is my config, am i short of anything else?

clock timezone sg +8

clock source sntp

sntp unicast client enable

sntp server 192.168.4.36

Thanks

What is 192.168.4.36 ?

is that a workstation, a windows server, or linux box?

is NTP SERVER running on that box?

you could try pointing to one of these servers

https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

sntp server pool.ntp.org

or point it to the same server your computer is pointing to.

Hi Daniel,

The192.168.4.36  is a the NTP server which my computer is pointing to.

Could an ACL block the time from Synchronzing to the switch?
