SNTP Tab - Global Settings
The Global Settings screen lets you set the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) settings. SNTP makes possible
accurate time synchronization by a network SNTP server for network devices. Using SNTP, the Switch is
synchronized with the rest of the network and set with the correct time.
Poll Interval. Enter the interval (in seconds) at which the SNTP server is polled for unicast information.
Receive Broadcast Servers Updates. If enabled, the Switch listens to the SNTP servers for broadcast server
time information on selected interfaces.
Receive Anycast Servers Updates. If enabled, the Switch polls the SNTP server for anycast server time
information.
Receive Unicast Servers Updates. If enabled, the Switch polls the SNTP server for unicast server time
information.
Poll Unicast Servers. If enabled, the Switch sends SNTP unicast forwarding information to the SNTP server.
