5.4.7 SNTP Configuration

SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

is a simplified version of NTP which is an Internet protocol used to synchronize

the clocks of computers to some time reference. Because time usually just advances, the time on different node stations

will be different. With the communicating programs running on those devices, it would cause time to jump forward and

back, a non-desirable effect. Therefore, the switch provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and

frequency dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local clock in each participating

subnet peer.

Daylight saving time (DST)

is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings

have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.
