Figure 9-8. Example of Configuring SNTP for Unicast Operation

If the SNTP server you specify uses SNTP version 4 or later, use the sntp server command to specify the correct version number. For example, suppose you learned that SNTP version 4 was in use on the server you specified above (IP address 10.28.227.141). You would use the following commands to delete the server IP address and then re-enter it with the correct version number for that server:

Deletes unicast SNTP server entry.

Re-enters the unicast server with a non- default protocol version.

show sntp displays the result.
