New Time Synchronization Protocol Options
If SNTP is the selected time synchronization method ), show timep still lists the TimeP configuration
even though it is not currently in use:
Figure 98. Example of SNTP Configuration When SNTP Is Not the Selected Time Synchronization Method
Configuring (Enabling or Disabling) the TimeP Mode
Enabling the TimeP mode means to configure it for either broadcast or unicast mode. Remember
that to run TimeP as the switch’s time synchronization protocol, you must also select TimeP as the
time synchronization method by using the CLI timesync command (or the Menu interface
Time Sync
Method
parameter).
Syntax: timesync timep Selects TimeP as the time protocol.
ip timep < dhcp | manual > Enables the selected TimeP mode.
no ip timep Disables the TimeP mode.
no timesync Disables the time protocol.
Enabling TimeP in DHCP Mode. Because the switch provides a TimeP polling interval (default:
720 minutes), you need only these two commands for a minimal TimeP DHCP configuration:
Syntax: timesync timep Selects TimeP as the time synchronization method.
ip timep dhcp Configures DHCP as the TimeP mode.
Even though, in this example, SNTP is the
current time synchronization method, the
switch maintains the TimeP
configuration.
