SNTP
Simple network timing protocol (SNTP) is a protocol used to synchronize the system time to
public SNTP servers. It uses the UDP protocol on port 123 to communicate between clients and
servers. The 6381 supports SNTP client functionality in compliance with IETF RFC 2030. The
system clock time in the 6381 can be configured to send client requests to the configured SNTP
server addresses periodically.
The main function of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is to provide the network with a
precise time based on Internet standards. Enter the information of the SNTP server to which you
will be connecting.
To configure SNTP:
1. From the navigation bar at the top of the screen click Advanced
2. From the left hand navigation pane select SNTP.
