TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Viewing the Current TimeP Configuration

This command lists both the time synchronization method (TimeP, SNTP, or None) and the TimeP configuration, even if SNTP is not the selected time protocol.

Syntax:

show timep

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 lists the following:

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:

Even though, in this example, SNTP is the current time synchronization method, the switch maintains the TimeP configuration.
