SNTP Server Configuration
Use the SNTP Server Configuration screen to view and modify information for adding and
modifying Simple Network Time Protocol SNTP servers.
To configure a new SNTP server:
1. Select System > Management > Time > SNTP Server Configuration.
2. From the Server Type list, select the type of SNTP address to enter in the Address field,
which is either an IP address (IPv4) or hostname (DNS).
3. In the Address field, specify the IP address or the host name of the SNTP server.
Last Attempt Status Specifies the status of the last SNTP request or unsolicited message for both
unicast and broadcast modes. If no message has been received from a server,
a status of Other is displayed. These values are appropriate for all operational
modes:
• Other. The status of the last request is unknown.
• Success. The SNTP operation was successful, and the system time was
updated.
• Request Timed Out. After an SNTP request was sent to an SNTP server,
the response timer expired before a response from the server was
received.
• Bad Date Encoded. The time provided by the SNTP server is not valid.
• Version Not Supported. The SNTP version supported by the server is not
compatible with the version supported by the client.
• Server Unsynchronized. The SNTP server is not synchronized with its
peers. This is indicated by the leap indicator field on the SNTP message.
• Server Kiss Of Death. The SNTP server indicated that no further queries
were to be sent to this server. This is indicated by a stratum field equal to
0 in a message received from a server.
Server IP Address Specifies the IP address of the server for the last received valid packet. If no
message has been received from any server, an empty string is shown.
Address Type Specifies the address type of the SNTP server address for the last received
valid packet.
Server Stratum Specifies the claimed stratum of the server for the last received valid packet.
Reference Clock Id Specifies the reference clock identifier of the server for the last received valid
