Time Protocols
Note that simply selecting a time synchronization protocol does not enable
that protocol on the switch unless you also enable the protocol itself (step 2,
above). For example, in the factory-default configuration, TimeP is the
selected time synchronization method. However, because TimeP is disabled
in the factory-default configuration, no time synchronization protocol is
running.
Disabling Time Synchronization
You can use either of the following methods to disable time synchronization
without changing the Timep or SNTP configuration:
In the System Information screen of the Menu interface, set the Time
Synch Method
parameter to None, then press [Enter], then [S] (for Save).
In the Global config level of the CLI, execute no timesync.
