|
|
<div><p>This topic provides information about the SNTP client on i5/OS™.</p>
|
|
<p>When SNTP is configured as a client, the iSeries™ server retrieves a time value
|
|
from an external time source. You can specify from which sources (up to three)
|
|
to retrieve the time value. This external time value is compared to the iSeries system
|
|
time. If the iSeries time
|
|
value does not match the external time source, a time adjustment begins. The iSeries system
|
|
time is adjusted until the required time value is reached.</p>
|
|
<p>The SNTP client allows you to configure the i5/OS operating system to poll a Network
|
|
Time Protocol (NTP) or SNTP server to find out the time. The SNTP client updates
|
|
the system clock. Most applications use the system clock as their time source.
|
|
By updating the system clock, applications reflect the synchronized time obtained
|
|
from the time server.</p>
|
|
<p>The first server in the list that can provide valid time service will be
|
|
selected. When the selected time server fails, a new time server will be selected.
|
|
The time server should be selected based on minimum network response time
|
|
delay at the location where the iSeries server is installed. </p>
|
|
<p>A list of public time servers is maintained on the Internet. To locate
|
|
a time server, you can use a search engine with a query of <dfn class="term">NTP servers</dfn>.</p>
|
|
<p>You can run the SNTP client and the SNTP server concurrently on your iSeries server.
|
|
This allows you to obtain time from an outside source, and then serve that
|
|
time to clients on your network. To do this, you need to synchronize the clocks
|
|
on your network.</p>
