system time was last taken.

Main Clock Source (SNTP Servers)
—If this is enabled, the system time is
obtained from an SNTP server. To use this feature, you must also configure a

the date and time from the configuring computer using the HTTP protocol.
NOTE
The Clock Source Setting needs to be set to either of the above in order for RIP
MD5 authentication to work.
