11.2.13.1 Configuring SNTP Global Configuration Page
Selection Criteria
Client Mode - Specifies the mode of operation of SNTP Client. An SNTP client may 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 pro ce ssed.
• 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 rel ative to the server.
• Broadcast - SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instea d of a multicast address. The broadcast address has a si ngle subnet
scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.
• Multicast - S NTP operates in the same manner as m ulticast mode and uses a local multicast
address.
