• An SNTP server is configured.

• The switch can contact the SNTP server

8. Next to Client Mode, select the mode of operation of the SNTP client:

• Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request

to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a rep

ly from which it can determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative to the server.

• Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local broadcast

address instead

of a multicast address. The broadcast address provides a

single-subnet scope while a multicast address provides an Internet-wide scope.

The default value is Unicast.

9. If the SNTP client mode is Unicast, use the SNTP Server Configuration page to add the IP address or DNS name of one or more SNTP servers for the switch to poll.

Configure an SNTP server

SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.

Time sources are established by strata. Strata define the accuracy of the reference clock. The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest), the more accurate the clock. The device receives time from Stratum 1 and above since it is itself a Str

The following is an example of strata:

• Stratum 0.

• Stratum 1.

Information received from SNTP servers is evaluated based on the time level and server type.

SNTP time definitions are assessed and determined by the following time levels:

•T1. Time that the original request was sent by the client.

•T2. Time that the original request was received by the server.

•T

3. Time that the server sent a reply.

•T

4. Time that the client received the server's reply.

The device can poll unicast server types for the server time.

Polling for unicast information is used for polling a server fo

r which the IP address is known. SNTP servers that were configured on the device are the only ones that are polled for synchronization information. T1 through

T4 are used to determine server time. This is the

preferred method for synchronizing device time because it is the most secure method. If this

Used in some countries around the world, summer time is the practice of temporarily advancing clocks during the summer months. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one or more hours near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

To configure the daylight saving time settings:

GS724TPP 380W

By default, supplied power is prioritized in ascending port order, up to the total power budget of the device. If the power requirements for the attached devices exceed the total power budget of the switch, the power to the device on the highest-numbered PoE+ port is disabled to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered PoE+ ports are supported first.

It is important to note that although a device is listed as an 802.3at (PoE+) powered or

Configure System Information User Manual88

24-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP Ports

Device class power requirements

PoE and PoE+ use Ethernet cables to supply power to PoE-capable devices on the network, such as WiFi access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and switches. The switch is compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard (PoE+) and backward compatible with the IEEE 802.3af standard (PoE). The switch can pass power through to any powered device (PD) that supports these standards. PoE and PoE+ let you power such devices without the need for a separate power supply.

The switch supports a Plug-and-Play process by which it detects the type of device that is connected to one of its PoE+ ports and whether that device needs power and how much so that the switch can provide the correct power to the device.

During the Plug-and-Play process, the connected device can provide its Class response to the switch in many ways, depending on how the vendor programmed the device.

The following table shows the device classes for PoE+ devices adhering

to the

IEEE 802.3at standard. The device classes for PoE devices adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard are identical with the exception that Device Class 4 is not supported.

ered to the Powered Device

Power allocation and power budget concepts

The switch is a smart switch in that it can allocate the required power to a connected device by using a prioritization scheme: By default, power is supplied in ascending port order (that is, lower port numbers are served first) until the power budget is consumed and insufficient power remains to allocate to the next device. When less than 7W of PoE power is available on a port, the port PoE LED lights yellow, and the attached device does not receive power from the port. However, the switch continues to send data through the port connection.

The switch is also a smart switch in that it can override the IEEE power classification of a powered device (PD): If the PD consumes less power than required by its power classification,

the switch

provides only the power that the PD consumes instead of the power

that is required by the PD’s power classification.

If some PoE+ ports are in use and deliver power, you can calculate the available power budget for the other PoE+ ports by subtracting the consumed (that is, delivered power) from

Configure System Information User Manual89

24-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP Ports

the total available power budget. (For information about the total available power budget, see PoE concepts on page 88.)

An example for model GS724TPv2:

Port 1 delivers 4.4W to a PD. The available power budget is 185.6W (190W–4.4W).

An example for model GS724TPP: A Class 4 PD is attached to Port 1, a Class 2 PD to Port 2, and another Class 4 PD to Port 3.

However, the PDs consume less power than defined by their classes: The PD attached to Port 1 consumes 7.3W, the PD attached to Port 2 consumes 4.7W, and the PD attached to Port 3 consumes 8.9W. So even though the switch provides power to two Class 4 devices and one Class 3 device, if the default power adapter is installed, the available power budget is 359.1W (380W–7.3–4.7–8.9W).

To determine the delivered power by a PoE+ port:
