NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2 The page refreshes and displays the SNTP Global Configuration section and the SNTP Global Status section. The default is SNTP. The local clock can be set to SNTP only if the following two conditions are met: • The SNTP server is configured. • The SNTP last attempt status is successful. 7. Next to Client Mode, select the mode of operation of the SNTP client: • Disable. SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client nor are any incoming SNTP messages processed. • Unicast. SNTP operates in a point-to-point fashion. A unicast client sends a request to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can determine the time and, optionally, the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative to the server. • Broadcast. SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address provides a single-subnet scope while a multicast address provides an Internet-wide scope. The default is Disable. 8. If the SNTP client mode is Unicast, you can add the IP address or DNS name of one or more SNTP servers for the switch to poll. For more information, see Configure an SNTP Server on page 42. 9. In the Port field, specify the local UDP port that the SNTP client receives server packets on. The allowed range is 1025 to 65535 and 123. The default is 123. When the default is configured, the actual client port value used in SNTP packets is assigned by the OS. 10. In the Unicast Poll Interval field, specify the number of seconds between unicast poll requests expressed as a power of 2. to The allowed range is 6 to 10. The default is 6. 11. In the Broadcast Poll Interval field, specify the number of seconds between broadcast poll requests expressed as a power of 2. Broadcasts received prior to the expiry of this interval are discarded. The allowed range is 6 to 10. The default is 6. 12. In the Unicast Poll Timeout field, specify the number of seconds to wait for an SNTP response to a unicast poll request. The allowed range is 1 to 30. The default is 5. 13. In the Unicast Poll Retry field, specify the number of times to retry a unicast poll request to an SNTP server after the first time-out before the switch attempts to use the next configured server. The allowed range is 0 to 10. The default is 1. 14. In the Time Zone Name field, specify a time zone. Configure System Information 37
