SMC7824M/VSW
To display a configured NTP, use the following command.
Command Mode
Description
show ntp
Enable
Global
Bridge
Shows a configured NTP function.
To synchronize the system clock, the system periodically sends the NTP message to the
NTP server. You can configure the system to bind the IP address to the message which
allows the NTP server to recognize your system.
To bind the IP address to the NTP message, use the following command.
Command Mode
Description
ntp bind-address
A.B.C.D
Specifies the IP address to be bound to the NTP mes-
sage.
no ntp bind-address
Global
Deletes a specified IP address.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
NTP (Network Time Protocol) and SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) are the same
TCP/IP protocol in that they use the same UDP time packet from the Ethernet Time
Server message to compute accurate time. The basic difference in the two protocols is
the algorithms being used by the client in the client/server relationship.
The NTP algorithm is much more complicated than the SNTP algorithm. NTP normally
uses multiple time servers to verify the time and then controls the rate of adjustment or
slew rate of the PC which provides a very high degree of accuracy. The algorithm deter-
mines if the values are accurate by identifying time server that doesn’t agree with other
time servers. It then speeds up or slows down the PC's drift rate so that the PC's time is
always correct and there won't be any subsequent time jumps after the initial correction.
Unlike NTP, SNTP usually uses just one Ethernet Time Server to calculate the time and
then it "jumps" the system time to the calculated time. It can, however, have back-up
Ethernet Time Servers in case one is not available.
To configure the switch in SNTP, use the following command.
Command Mode
Description
sntp
SERVER1
[
SERVER2
]
[
SERVER3
]
Specifies the IP address of the SNTP server. It is pos-
sible up to three number of servers.
SERVER: server IP address
no sntp
SERVER1
[
SERVER2
]
[
SERVER3
]
Disables specific SNTP server.
no sntp
Global
Disables SNTP function.
