IPv6 Management Features
SNTP and Timep
Note To use a global unicast IPv6 address to configure an IPv6 Timep server on the
switch, the switch must be receiving advertisements from an IPv6 router on
a VLAN configured on the switch.
To use a link-local IPv6 address to configure an IPv6 Timep server on the
switch, it is necessary to append %vlan followed (without spaces) by the VLAN
ID of the VLAN on which the server address is available. The VLAN must be
configured on the switch. For example: fe80::11:215%vlan10
For example, to configure a link-local Timep server address of:
fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0
where the address is on VLAN 10, configured on the switch, you would enter
this command at the global config level, as shown below.
ip timep manual < ipv6-addr >
[ interval < 1 - 9999 >]
Enable Timep operation with a statically configured
IPv6 address for a Timep server. Optionally change
the interval between time requests.
no ip timep Disables Timep operation. To re-enable Timep, it is
necessary to reconfigure either the DHCP or the
static option.
Syntax:. ip timep dhcp [ interval < 1 - 9999 >]
ip timep manual < ipv6-addr | ipv4-addr > [ interval < 1 - 9999 >]
Used at the global config level to configure a Timep server ad-
dress.
Note: The switch allows one Timep server configuration.
timep dhcp: Configures the switch to obtain the address of a
Timep server from an IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP server.
timep manual: Specifies static configuration of a Timep server
address.
< ipv6-addr >: Specifies the IPv6 address of an SNTP server. Re-
fer to preceeding Note.
[ Interval < 1 - 9999 > ]: This optional setting specifies the inter-
val in minutes between Timep requests. (Default: 720)
