This command needs the command line +parameter of server's IP address or environment variable +"ntpserverip". The network time is sent as UTC. So if you want to +set local time to RTC, set the offset in second from UTC to the +enviroment variable "time offset". + +If the DHCP server provides time server's IP or time offset, you +don't need to set the above environment variables yourself. + +Current limitations of SNTP support: +1. The roundtrip time is ignored. +2. Only the 1st NTP server IP, in the option ntp-servers of DHCP, will + be used. |
