Chapter 40 NTP Function Configuration

40.1 Introduction to NTP Function

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronizes timekeeping spans WAN and LAN among

distributed time servers and clients, it can get millisecond precision. The introduction of event,

state, transmit function and action are defined in RFC-1305.

The purpose of using NTP is to keep consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent

devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the

consistent time.

For a local system running NTP, its time can be synchronized by other reference sources and

can be used as a reference source to synchronize other clocks, also can synchronize each

other by transmit NTP packets.
