By default, the SNTP status is disabled.
Primary Server IP
Address/Domain
Name


If host name is configured, instead of IP address then make sure that DNS
server IP is configured on the device.

IPv6 address should be the global IP address and not the link local IP address.
Secondary Server IP
Address/Domain
Name
Enter the host name, or the IP address based on IP modes (IPv4 only or IPv4 and IPv6) of
the secondary SNTP time server. If the primary server is not reachable, then SNTP client tries
to synchronize device’s time with the secondary server time.
:

If the SNTP client is not able to sychronize the time with both the servers
(primary and secondary), then it tries to synchronize again after every one
minute.

IPv6 address should be the global IP address and not the link local IP address.
