Optional SNTP Client Configurations
SafeGuard OS also allows for optional SNTP configuration. The poll interval can be set
for either broadcast or unicast clients. The poll retry and the poll timeout values can also
be set for the clients.
See the following sections for more details:
■ Setting the Poll Interval
■ Setting the Poll Retry and Poll-Timeout Timers for Unicast Clients
■ Setting the Port ID for the Port Client
Setting the Poll Interval
Set the poll interval for either broadcast or unicast clients using the following Global
Configuration commands. The no version of the command resets the poll interval back to
the default of 64 seconds.
sntp broadcast client poll-interval seconds
no sntp broadcast client poll-interval
sntp unicast
client poll-interval seconds
no sntp unicast client poll-interval
The following example sets the poll-interval to 8 seconds for a broadcast client.
(SafeGuardOS) # configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # sntp broadcast client poll-interval 8
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # exit
(SafeGuardOS) #
Setting the Poll Retry and Poll-Timeout Timers for Unicast Clients
Set the poll retry using the following Global Configuration command. The no version of
the command resets the poll retry times for SNTP unicast clients to the default value of 1.

of two. Valid values for both broadcast and unicast clients are:
■ 6 = 64 seconds
■ 7 = 128 seconds
■ 8 = 256 seconds
■ 9 = 512 seconds
■ 10 = 1024 seconds
