Setting time on network elements using Simple Network Time Protocol

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature synchronizes the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to an accuracy within 1 second. This feature adheres to the IEEE RFC 2030 (MIB is the s5agent). With this feature, the system can obtain the time from any RFC 2030-compliant NTP/SNTP server.

ATTENTION

If you have trouble using this feature, try various NTP servers. Some NTP servers may be overloaded or currently inoperable.
