Time Sync - The Network Time Synchronization feature is designed to ensure that all time stamps in a network are synchronized from one source. One switch becomes the master for this purpose. In a private network environment, each switch in the network has an individual system clock. These system clocks can, under certain conditions, lose or gain time, causing inaccurate time stamps for different features. Also, in a private network, several switches can be located in different time zones. As features become more centralized in a network environment, it is useful to have time stamps based on one time zone.

OK - my HVAC guys are "doing repairs" and outside air (I'm in Minnesota) is going into the Switch Room. It is 47 F and dropping. When will my switch stop working? It's 16 F outside...

From: "Ken Steinhoff"

It's 79 degrees down here in West Palm Beach, FL. (Heat index is 80). When your switchroom temp gets down to 40 degrees, let me know. I'll run outside, fill a garbage bag full of hot air and overnight it to you.
