Configuring Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

This chapter describes how to configure the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature.

This chapter contains the following topics:


Configuring SNTP via CLI

Usedthis feature for synchronizing network resources. This feature:

The following are examples of the CLI commands used with the SNTP feature.

Example 4: configure sntp


CODE EXAMPLE 33-4 Configure sntp Command
(DTI SWITCH)(Config) # sntp ?
 
broadcast	Configure SNTP client broadcast parameters.
client	Configure the SNTP client parameters.
server	Configure SNTP server parameters.
