[no] sntp

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode
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.

config>system>time>sntp
Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode
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.

Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms configured in the access-uplink operating mode
This command creates an SNTP server for unicast client mode.
Specifies the IP address of the SNTP server.
Specifies the SNTP version supported by this server.
Specifies the preference value for this SNTP server. When more than one time-server is configured, one server can have preference over others. The value for that server should be set to preferred. Only one server in the table can be a preferred server.
Specifies the frequency at which this server is queried.
