SNTP
SNTP is a compact, client-only version of the NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from SNTP/
NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. SNTP can be configured
in either broadcast or unicast client mode.
SNTP time elements include:
• Broadcast-client on page 262
• Server-address on page 263
CLI Syntax: config>system
time
sntp
broadcast-client
server-address ip-address [version version-number]
[normal|preferred] [interval seconds]
no shutdown
Broadcast-client
The broadcast-client command enables listening at the global device level to SNTP broadcast
messages on interfaces with broadcast client enabled.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>sntp
broadcast-client
Example
: config>system>time>sntp#
config>system>time>sntp# broadcast-client
config>system>time>sntp# no shutdown
The following example shows SNTP enabled with the broadcast-client command enabled.
