clock synchronization.

Usage Guideline

SNTP is a compact, client-only version of the NTP. Unlike NTP, SNTP can only receive the time from NTP

servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other systems. SNTP typically provides time within 100

milliseconds of the accurate time, but it does not provide the complex filtering and statistical mechanisms of

NTP.

Use the

form of this command to delete the SNTP server configuration. The time obtained from the SNTP

server refers to the UTC time.

Example

This example shows how to configure a switch to allow its software clock to be synchronized with the clock by

the SNTP server at IP address 10.10.1.143.

Switch# config terminal

Switch(config)# sntp server 10.10.1.143

Switch(config)#
