To display the SNTP Server Configuration page, click System  Management  Time  SNTP Server Configuration. To configure a new SNTP Server: 1. Enter the appropriate SNTP server information in the available fields: • Server Type - Specifies whether the address for the SNTP server is an IP address (IPv4) or hostname (DNS). Default value is IPv4. • Address - Specify the address of the SNTP server. This is a text string of up to 64 characters containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of a SNTP server. Unicast SNTP requests will be sent to this address. If this address is a DNS hostname, then that hostname should be resolved into an IP address each time a SNTP request is sent to it. • Port - Enter a port number on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent. The valid range is 1-65535. The default is 123. • Priority - Specify the priority of this server entry in determining the sequence of servers to which SNTP requests will be sent. The client continues sending requests to different servers until a successful response is received or all servers are exhausted. This object indicates the order in which to query the servers. A server entry with a precedence of 1 will be queried before a server with a priority of 2, and so forth. If more than one server has the same priority then the requesting order will follow the lexicographical ordering of the entries in this table. Allowed range is (1 to 3). Default value is 1. • Version - Enter the NTP version running on the server. The range is 1-4. The default is 4. 2. Click Add. Chapter 2. Configuring System Information | 43
