3.5.3.2 System Time Configuration
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client functionality generates requests and
reacts to the responses using the NTP version 3 protocol definitions (according to
RFC 1305). Through these requests and responses, the NTP client is able to
synchronize the system time to a time source within the network. By synchronizing
time to a network time source, traffic handling, maintenance, and debugging
actions become simplified for the network administrator.
