Configuring IP Addressing, Time Synchronization, Interface Access, and System Information
Time Synchronization Protocol Options
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
SMC6624M(config)# show timep
Figure 5-12. 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:
SMC6624M(config)# show timep
Figure 5-13. 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:
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:
5-28
lists the following:
Timep Configuration
Time Sync Mode: Timep
TimeP Mode : DHCP
Poll Interval (min) : 720
Timep Configuration
Time Sync Mode: Sntp
TimeP Mode : DHCP
Poll Interval (min) : 720
timesync timep
ip timep < dhcp | manual >
no ip timep
no timesync
Server Address :
Even though, in this example, SNTP is
the current time synchronization
method, the switch maintains the
TimeP configuration.

Selects TimeP as the time protocol.
Enables the selected TimeP mode.
Disables the TimeP mode.
Disables the time protocol.
