6. Select a Client mode radio button to specify the mode of operation of the SNTP client:
• Disable. SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client and no
received SNTP messages are processed.
• Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request
to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can
determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative
to the server.
• Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address provides a
single-subnet scope while a multicast address provides an Internet-wide scope.
The default is Unicast.
7. In the Port field, specify the local UDP port that the SNTP client receives server packets on.
The allowed range is 1025 to 65535 and the value 123. The default is 123. When the
default is configured, the actual client port value used in SNTP packets is assigned by the
operating system.
8. In the Unicast Poll Interval field, specify the number of seconds between unicast poll
requests expressed as a power of 2.
The allowed range is 6 to 10. The default is 6.
9. In the Broadcast Poll Interval field, specify the number of seconds between broadcast poll
requests expressed as a power of 2.
Broadcasts received prior to the expiry of this interval are discarded. The allowed range is
6 to 10. The default is 6.
10. In the Unicast Poll Timeout field, specify the number of seconds to wait for an SNTP
response to a unicast poll request.
