SNTP Client Configuration

Time-of-day synchronization with SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is used for synchronizing the time in the network. The
appropriate frames are sent by a server in the network. An IE switch logs on as client with
this server as recipient of time-of-day frames.
The "SNTP Client Configuration" screen appears if you click the "SNTP Client" submenu.
