Simple Network Time Protocol

Simple Network Time Protocol
The HP PS1810 series switch software supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP
ensures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchroniza-

provide time services to other systems.
The SNTP server port of 123 is used by default. A log message is generated when the configured SNTP
server is unreachable.
