Configuring SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) enables you to adjust the system clock by using the time server on the network. When SNTP is used, the time server is checked at regular intervals, enabling the correct time to be constantly maintained.
The SNTP of the machine supports both NTP (version 3) and SNTP (versions 3 and 4) servers.
