The following example places the CLI in Interface Configuration mode on
port gi0/1. The sntp command is then applied to that port.
console# configure
console(config)# interface gi0/1
console(config-if)# sntp client enable
To run a command in a mode, which does not contain it, use "do" before the
command, as in the following example:
console# configure
console(config)# interface gi0/1
console(config-if)# sntp client enable
console(config-if)# do show sntp configuration
