6.
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 has a
single subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.
