Configuration Guide
Platforms Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms
configured in the access-uplink operating mode
Description This command creates the context to edit the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP).
SNTP can be configured in either broadcast or unicast client mode. SNTP is a compact,
client-only version of the NTP. SNTP can only receive the time from SNTP/NTP servers. It
cannot be used to provide time services to other systems.
The system clock is adjusted automatically during system initialization and periodically to
ensure that the local time is close to server's time. However, if the time difference between
the SNTP/NTP server and the system clock is more than 2.5 seconds, the software corrects
the system time gradually adjusted over an interval.
SNTP is created in an administratively enabled state (no shutdown).
The no form of this command removes the SNTP instance and configuration. SNTP does not
need to be administratively disabled when removing the SNTP instance and configuration.
Default no sntp
broadcast-client
Syntax [no] broadcast-client

Platforms Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms
configured in the access-uplink operating mode
Description This command enables listening to SNTP/NTP broadcast messages on interfaces with
broadcast client enabled at global device level.
If this global parameter is configured, the ntp-broadcast parameter must be configured on
selected interfaces on which NTP broadcasts are transmitted.
SNTP must be shutdown prior to changing either to or from broadcast mode.
The no form of this command disables broadcast client mode.
Default no broadcast-client
