TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring
Even though, in this example, SNTP is the
current time synchronization method, the
switch maintains the TimeP
configuration.
Figure 8-11. 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.
