4.2.3 SNTP Configuration
In the System sub-function menu, you can see the SNTP Configuration (see Figure 4-4 ), by which you can configure the
time settings for the VDSL2 Switch. You can specify SNTP Servers and select GMT Time zone.
Figure 4-4 SNTP Configuration screen
The Time page includes the following fields:
Object Description
Current Time Display the current local date and time (UTC) of the last SNTP request or receipt
of an unsolicited message. The field format is Day : Month: HH : MM : SS : Year.
For example, Thu Jan 21:15:03 GMT 2008.
Mode Enable: Specifies that the system time is set via an SNTP server.
Disable: Specifies that the system time is not set by an external source.
GMT Time zone The difference between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and local time. For
example, the Time Zone Offset for Paris is GMT +1, while the local time in Taipei
is GTM +8.
SNTP Server Enter a user-defined SNTP server IP addresses or hostname. This is a text string
of up to 64 characters containing the encoded unicast IP address or hostname of
a SNTP server. Unicast SNTP requests will be sent to this address. If this
address is a DNS hostname, then that hostname should be resolved into an IP
address each time a SNTP request is sent to it.
The device supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures accurate
network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is
performed by a network SNTP server. SNTP operates only as a client, and cannot provide time
services to other systems.
