Figure 6- 28. Bandwidth Settings window
To use the bandwidth feature, enter the port or range of ports in the From and To fields. The third field
allows you to set the type of packets being received and/or transmitted by the Switch. Toggle the
no_limit setting to Enabled in the fourth field, or if you prefer, manually enter a value in the Rate field,
and then click Apply. Please note that if no_limit is Enabled, the Switch will not permit you to set the
bandwidth rate manually.

SNTP Settings

The DES-3250TG supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), an adaptation of the Network Time
Protocol (NTP). As specified in RFC-1305 [MIL92], NTP is used to synchronize computer clocks in the
global Internet. It provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and frequency
dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet, and adjust the local clock in each
participating subnet peer.
The access paradigm is identical to the UDP/TIME Protocol and, in fact, it is usually easy to adapt a
UDP/TIME client implementation to operate using SNTP. Moreover, SNTP is also designed to operate in
a dedicated server configuration including an integrated radio clock. With careful design and control of
the various latencies in the system, it is possible to deliver time accurate to the order of microseconds.
