Configuring SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) provides system time with high accuracy, but
it does not provide the complex filtering and statistical mechanisms of the Network
Time Protocol (NTP). Configure the local router to operate in client mode with the
remote system at the specified address. In this mode, the local router can be
synchronized to the remote system, but the remote system never can be synchronized
to the local router.
1. Configure the SNTP server with the sntp server command on Global
Configuration mode.
MOT(config)#sntp server {<224.0.1.1> | <A.B.C.D> | <Hostname>}
where
224.0.1.1 is the NTP Multicast server IP address.
A.B.C.D is the IP address of the server.
Hostname is the DNS name of the server.
For example:
Note: When the server address is 224.0.1.1, the IANA assigned multicast
address for NTP, the client operates in anycast mode. It transmits a request
to this multicast address and waits for replies. It then binds to the first server
that replies. All subsequent transactions happen in unicast mode.
