Options mode
The SNTP mode. Valid modes are:
z None—SNTP is turned off.
z Unicast—Sends a request packet periodically to the Primary host. If
communication with the Primary host fails, the request will be sent to the
Secondary host.
z Multicast—Listen for any broadcasts from an SNTP server and then synchronizes
its internal clock to the message.
z Anycast—Sends a request packet as a broadcast on the LAN to get a response
from any SNTP server. The first response that is received is used to synchronize its
internal clock and then operates in Unicast mode with that SNTP server.
