Configuring SNTP
To obtain time information from the time server on the network, configure Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). When SNTP is configured, the time server is checked at specified intervals to adjust the time and maintain the correct time on the machine.
The machine supports both an NTP server (NTPv3) and SNTP server (SNTPv3 and v4).
