Management > Time Time Configuration, and select SNTP as the
Clock Source.
9. Use Client Mode to specify the mode of operation of SNTP Client.
An SNTP client can operate in one of the following modes:
• Disable. SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client nor are
any received SNTP messages processed.
• Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion.
A unicast client sends a request
to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can
determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative
to the server.
• Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instead of a multicast address.
The broadcast address was a
single subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.
The default value is Disable.
10. Use Port to specify the local UDP port to listen for responses or broadcasts.
The allowed range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 123.
11. Specify the Source Interface to be used for SNTP Client.
Possible values are as follows:
• Routing interface
• Routing VLAN
