Hello,
I have an 1810g-8 switch, and can't figure out how to adjust the SNTP access rate - it seems to want to access the time server every minute or so, and to write a log entry for an access every few minutes. These entries very quickly fill up the log so that I lose log entries that I might actually care about. And it appears that by adjusting the log severity to eliminate the NTP messages, I also disable other messages, for example - ports going down (which you would think would be classified at a higher priority, but a down port is severity "info" and an NTP access is at severity "notice", which is higher ??? ). Also, once a certain type of timeserver access fails, the switch stops updates altogether, you must go in and manually disable and re-enable the feature after which the updates start up again (same server address). The switch is at firmware version P.1.17, and although there are a couple of later releases on the HP website, the release notes for them don't show any SNTP/NTP bug fixes or feature changes. This seems so ridiculous that I assume I must be missing something, but I don't know what it is. Any advice would be appreciated.
