NTP
. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a
network protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems. NTP uses UDP (datagrams) as
transport layer.
The S4224 uses NTP for real time clock synchronization with the network time server. The NTP is
compliant with RFC 5905. The S4224 takes care of daylight saving options where used.
The S4224 management interfaces provide options to configure NTP and report the network time
synchronized. The S4224 time obtained is used for all S4224 services that need a timestamp. Note that
you cannot access the S4224 by System Name via DHCP/DNS.
Mode
Sets / indicates NTP mode operation, either:
Enabled
: Enable NTP mode operation. When NTP mode operation is enabled, the agent forwards
NTP messages between the clients and the server when they are not on the same subnet domain.
Disabled
: Disable NTP mode operation.
Server #
Provide the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a NTP server. IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as
eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example,
'fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol '::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of
representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear only once. It can also
represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'. In addition, it can also accept a
domain name address. Note that you can ‘cut and paste’ information to and from this field.

Using IPv6 multicast address is not allowed here.
