Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) provides for the synchronizing of system time for managed devices across a network. The S- K- or 7100-Series implementation supports unicast polling and broadcast listening modes of operation to obtain the time from an SNTP server. SNTP is a subset of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) as specified in RFC 1305. The most recent version of SNTP is specified in RFC 2030. Since SNTP is a subset of NTP, all NTP servers are capable of servicing SNTP clients. The SNTP mode is set on the client using the set sntp client command.
