Enhancements in Release F.02.02

 

New Time Synchronization Protocol Options

Syntax: timesync sntpSelects SNTP as the time synchronization method.
sntp unicastConfigures the SNTP mode for Unicast operation.

sntp server <ip-addr> [version] Specifies the SNTP server. The default server version is 3.

no sntp server <ip-addr>Deletes the specified SNTP server.

Note

Deleting an SNTP server when only one is configured disables SNTP unicast operation.

For example, to select SNTP and configure it with unicast mode and an SNTP server at 10.28.227.141 with the default server version (3) and default poll interval (720 seconds):

HP2512(config)# timesync sntpSelects SNTP.
HP2512(config)# sntp unicast

Activates SNTP in Unicast mode.

HP2512(config)# sntp server 10.28.227.141Specifies the SNTP server and

 

accepts the current SNTP server

 

version (default: 3)

.

 

In this example, the Poll Interval and the Protocol

Version appear at their default settings.

Note: Protocol Version appears only when there is an

IP address configured for an SNTP server.

Figure 92. Example of Configuring SNTP for Unicast Operation

If the SNTP server you specify uses SNTP version 4 or later, use the sntp server command to specify the correct version number. For example, suppose you learned that SNTP version 4 was in use on the server you specified above (IP address 10.28.227.141). You would use the following commands to delete the server IP address and then re-enter it with the correct version number for that server:
