5.3.3.1.7 SNTPCLIENT SET MODE
Syntax SNTPCLIENT SET MODE {UNICAST|BROADCAST|ANYCAST} {ENABLE|DIS-
ABLE}
Description This command enables/disables the STNP client in a particular time synchronous access
mode. There are three modes to choose from, and each mode has enable and disable
options:
Unicast mode
• Enable
the mode uses a unicast server and the IP address or hostname in the SNTP server
association list is used to synchronize the client time with the server. The SNTP cli-
ent attempts to contact the specific server in the association in order to receive a
timestamp when the SNTPCLIENT SYNC COMMAND is issued.
•Disable
the unicast server is removed from the association list.
Broadcast mode
• Enable
allows the SNTP client to accept time synchronization broadcast packets from an
SNTP server located on the network, and updated the local system time accordingly.
• Disable
stops synchronization via broadcast mode
