Time Configuration - NETGEAR GS110TP - ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch Software Administration Manual

GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
SNTP time definitions are assessed and determined by the following time levels:
T1: Time at which the original request was sent by the client.
•
T2: Time at which the original request was received by the server.
•
T3: Time at which the server sent a reply.
•
T4: Time at which the client received the server's reply.
•
The device can poll Unicast server types for the server time.
Polling for Unicast information is used for polling a server for which the IP address is known.
SNTP servers that have been configured on the device are the only ones that are polled for
synchronization information. T1 through T4 are used to determine server time. This is the
preferred method for synchronizing device time because it is the most secure method. If this
method is selected, SNTP information is accepted only from SNTP servers defined on the
device using the SNTP Server Configuration page.
The device retrieves synchronization information, either by actively requesting information or
at every poll interval.
