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
parameter).
Syntax: timesync timep
Selects TimeP as the time protocol.
Syntax: ip timep < dhcp | manual >
Enables the selected TimeP mode.
Syntax: no ip timep
Disables the TimeP mode.
Syntax: 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.
Syntax: ip timep dhcp
Configures DHCP as the TimeP mode.
For example, suppose:
■ Time synchronization is configured for SNTP.
You want to:
■
1. View the current time synchronization.
2. Select TimeP as the time synchronization mode.
3. Enable TimeP for DHCP mode.
4. View the TimeP configuration.
The commands and output would appear as follows:
