Simple Network Time Protocol (Sntp); Displaying Sntp Information - Avaya 3500 series Getting Started

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature synchronizes the Universal Coordinated
Time (UTC) to an accuracy within 1 second. This feature adheres to the IEEE RFC 2030 (MIB
is the s5agent). With this feature, the system can obtain the time from any RFC 2030-compliant
NTP/SNTP server.
The system retries connecting with the NTP server a maximum of 3 times, with 5 minutes
between each retry. If the connection fails after the 3 attempts, the system waits for the next
synchronization time (the default is 24 hours) and begins the process again.
Important:
If you have trouble using this feature, try various NTP servers. Some NTP servers may be
overloaded or currently inoperable.

Displaying SNTP information
