<h1 class="topictitle1">SNTP server</h1>
<div><p>You can configure your iSeries™ server as an SNTP server. This
topic explains how you can use this feature to maintain time on your network.</p>
<p>You can use your iSeries server as an SNTP server. This enables you
to configure your iSeries to act as a time server for other devices.
Other SNTP clients check time by polling your iSeries SNTP server. If a client's time
values do not match the iSeries SNTP server time, a time adjustment begins.
The client's system time is adjusted until the required time value is reached.
This can be useful for maintaining time within a network.</p>
<p>In <a href="#rzaktserver__sntpclient">Figure 1</a>, the iSeries Server
A uses the SNTP server. In this situation, the coordinated universal time
(UTC) is retrieved from the iSeries server rather than being synchronized with
an external time source. This internal time value is sent to all SNTP client
systems (iSeries Server
B and Client A) connected to it.</p>
<div class="fignone" id="rzaktserver__sntpclient"><a name="rzaktserver__sntpclient"><!-- --></a><span class="figcap">Figure 1. SNTP as a server</span><br /><img src="rzati502.gif" alt="Server A is the SNTP for the networked clients." /><br /></div>
<p>In addition to using the SNTP server to synchronize clocks on the network,
you can concurrently run your iSeries as an SNTP client to obtain time
from an outside time source. For an example, refer to Scenario: Synchronize
clocks with iSeries server.</p>
