Time Protocols
TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring
Viewing the Current TimeP Configuration
Using different show commands, you can display either the full TimeP config-
uration or a combined listing of all TimeP, SNTP, and VLAN IP addresses
configured on the switch.
Syntax: show timep
This command lists both the time synchronization method
(TimeP, SNTP, or None) and the TimeP configuration, even if
SNTP is not the selected time protocol. (If the TimeP Mode is
set to Disabled or DHCP, then the Server field does not appear.)
For example, if you configure the switch with TimeP as the time synchroniza-
tion method, then enable TimeP in DHCP mode with the default poll interval,
show timep lists the following:
Figure 9-13. Example of TimeP Configuration When TimeP Is the Selected Time
Synchronization Method
If SNTP is the selected time synchronization method,
show timep still lists the
TimeP configuration even though it is not currently in use:
Even though, in this example, SNTP is the
current time synchronization method, the
switch maintains the TimeP
configuration.

Method
Syntax: show management
This command can help you to easily examine and compare
the IP addressing on the switch. It lists the IP addresses for
all time servers configured on the switch, plus the IP addresses
and default gateway for all VLANs configured on the switch.
