SNTP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

 

 

N o t e

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):

 

HPswitch(config)# timesync sntp

 

Selects SNTP.

 

HPswitch(config)# sntp unicast

 

Activates SNTP in Unicast mode.

 

HPswitch(config)# sntp server 10.28.227.141

 

Specifies 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 9-5. 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:
