SNTP Commands

sntp
Syntax [no] sntp
Context config>system>time
Description This command creates the context to edit the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP).
SNTP can be configured in either broadcast or unicast client mode. SNTP is a compact, client-only version
of the NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from SNTP/NTP servers. It cannot be used to provide time
services to other systems.
The system clock is automatically adjusted at system initialization time or when the protocol first starts up.
When the time differential between the SNTP/NTP server and the system is more than 2.5 seconds, the time
on the system is gradually adjusted.
SNTP is created in an administratively enabled state (no shutdown).
The no form of the command removes the SNTP instance and configuration. SNTP does not need to be
administratively disabled when removing the SNTP instance and configuration.
Default no sntp
broadcast-client
Syntax [no] broadcast-client
Context config>system>time>sntp
Description
This command enables listening to SNTP/NTP broadcast messages on interfaces with broadcast client
enabled at global device level.
When this global parameter is configured then the ntp-broadcast parameter must be configured on selected
interfaces on which NTP broadcasts are transmitted.
SNTP must be shutdown prior to changing either to or from broadcast mode.
The no form of the command disables broadcast client mode.
Default
no broadcast-client
