Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

HPswitch(config)# timesync timep

Selects TimeP.

HPswitch(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141

Activates TimeP in Manual mode.

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 interval < 1 . . 9999 > ip timep manual interval < 1 . . 9999 >

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

HPswitch(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

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:

HPswitch(config)# no timesync

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