Anycast mode
Enable
the SNTP client sends time synchronized broadcast packets to the network and sub-
sequently expects a reply from a valid timeserver. The client then uses the first reply
it receives to establish a link for future sync operations in unicast mode. This server
will then be added to the server association list. The client ignores any later replies
from servers after the first one is received.
The enabled anycast mode takes precedence over any entries currently in the associ-
ations list when the SNTPCLIENT SYNC command is issued. The entry will then be
substituted for any existing entry in the unicast association list.
Disable
stops synchronization via anycast mode.
Options The following table gives the range of values for each option that can be specified with
