Usage Guidelines
NOTE

Queries are first sent to the primary server. If the primary server does not respond within 1 second, or if
it is not synchronized, the switch queries the second server. If the switch cannot obtain the time, it
restarts the query process. Otherwise, the switch waits for the
sntp-client update interval
before
querying again.
