Setting the Time through an SNTP Server
The unit can automatically synchronize its internal time to the time provided by an
SNTP server. For automatic time synchronization:
The SNTP client configuration must specify at least one SNTP server and the
appropriate time zone offset.
The SNTP client must be enabled.
NOTE: To change an SNTP server, the SNTP client must be disabled.

> config system sntp
Table 11 describes the parameters for config system sntp.
