Change Timeserver

2-50

2.66 Change Timeserver

Specifies which timeserver the MSS will use to update its internal clock. The MSS can communicate with
either Daytime or Network Timeserver Protocol (NTP) servers. For NTP, the MSS can periodically
broadcast a message asking for time information and wait for an NTP timeserver to reply, periodically query
a specific NTP timeserver, or just listen for NTP broadcasts on the network.

Parameters

Server

MSS4 only.

Daytime

Specifies a daytime server. The MSS will listen for a possible daytime server,
then send packets querying that server for time information.

Note:

Daytime is only supported over UDP.

GMTOffset

Specifies the local timezone’s difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

num

Enter a value from -12 to +13. For example, the GMTOffset for Los Angeles,
CA, USA would be -8 (PST) or -7 (PDT).

None

Clears a previous timeserver setting, but does not clear the GMTOffset setting.

NTP

Specifies an NTP server. There are three types of NTP.

Broadcast

The MSS periodically broadcasts a message that asks for time information, and
waits for an NTP timeserver to reply.

IP

Use this method if you have a single NTP timeserver on your network. You
must enter an IP address in standard numeric format.

Passive

The MSS will listen for NTP timeserver announcements on the network.
