6.10.1.2.4 SNTP
SNTP is a compact, client-only version of the NTP. SNTP can only receive the time 
from SNTP/NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. 
SNTP can be configured in either broadcast or unicast client mode. 
SNTP time elements include:
• Broadcast-client
• Server-address
CLI Syntax: config>system>time
sntp
broadcast-client 
server-address ip-address [version 
version-number] [normal | preferred] 
[interval seconds]
no shutdown
Broadcast-client
The broadcast-client command enables listening at the global device level to SNTP 
broadcast messages on interfaces with broadcast client enabled.
CLI Syntax: config>system>time>sntp
