Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Changing the TimeP Poll Interval. This command lets you specify how long the switch waits between time polling intervals. The default is 720 minutes and the range is 1 to 9999 minutes. (This parameter is separate from the poll interval parameter used for SNTP operation.)

Syntax: ip timep < dhcp manual > interval < 1 - 9999 >

For example, to change the poll interval to 60 minutes:

ProCurve(config)# ip timep interval 60

Disabling Time Synchronization Without Changing the TimeP Configuration. The recommended method for disabling time synchroniza­ tion is to use the timesync command. This halts time synchronization without changing your TimeP configuration.

Syntax: no timesync

Disables time synchronization by changing the Time Sync Mode configuration to Disabled.

For example, suppose TimeP is running as the switch’s time synchronization protocol, with DHCP as the TimeP mode, and the factory-default polling interval. You would halt time synchronization with this command:

ProCurve(config)# no timesync

If you then viewed the TimeP configuration, you would see the following:

Disabling the TimeP Mode. Disabling the TimeP mode means to configure it as disabled. (Disabling TimeP prevents the switch from using it as the time synchronization protocol, even if it is the selected Time Sync Method option.)

Syntax: no ip timep

Disables TimeP by changing the TimeP mode configuration to Disabled.
