SNTP Commands
3-92 Configuring the XSR Platform
sntp-client poll-interval
This command configures the interval the SNTP client waits, when synchronized, before sending
another time request to an SNTP server. The poll‐interval is applied continuously after the client is
first synchronized. If both primary and alternate servers are configured, polls are sent only to the
first server, once this was detected to be active and only if this server becomes inactive will the
client start polling the alternate server. A client declares a server inactive if no response is received
to ten consecutive requests.
When the time is not synchronized after boot up, a resynchronization interval is used to send time
requests to the server at fixed intervals of 60 seconds. A maximum of 10 such requests are sent in
case no answer was received before the SNTP client decides this server is down. If an alternate
server address is configured, requests are sent out to it. The resync interval is used instead of the
polling interval to ensure the time is learned fairly quickly if the poll interval was set to a higher
value. After initial synchronization, client requests are sent using the configured poll interval.
