3.1.2.2. SNTP Client
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for time synchronization of the clocks of network devices. SNTP
provides extensive mechanisms to synchronize the time over a subnet, network, or the Internet. Typically, SNTP
can achieve accuracies of 1 to 50 ms, depending on the characteristics of the synchronization source and routers.
The goal of SNTP is to synchronize all devices in a network with a clock in order to run distributed applications
based on one time source.
Under Administration > System Time > SNTP Client the settings for the current time can be made. The router can
then update the time via a public or private time server.
Before setting up an SNTP server, make sure that the SNTP server is reachable. Especially in the case of a domain
name, it should be checked whether the DNS server is configured correctly for name resolution.
Either a source interface or a source IP can be configured.
Aer the successful update of the time, the following appears in the log under Administration > Log.
