Changing the SNTP Poll Interval. This command lets you specify how long the switch waits
between time polling intervals. The default is 720 seconds and the range is 30 to 720 seconds. (This
parameter is separate from the poll interval parameter used for Timep operation.)
Syntax: sntp poll-interval < 30 . . 720 >
For example, to change the poll interval to 300 seconds:
HP2512(config)# sntp poll-interval 300
Disabling Time Synchronization Without Changing the SNTP Configuration. The recom-
mended method for disabling time synchronization is to use the
timesync command. This halts time
synchronization without changing your SNTP configuration.
Syntax: no timesync
For example, suppose SNTP is running as the switch’s time synchronization protocol, with
Broadcast
as the SNTP mode and the factory-default polling interval. You would halt time synchronization with
this command:
HP2512(config)# no timesync
If you then viewed the SNTP configuration, you would see the following:
