IPv6 Management Features

SNTP and Timep

 

For example, to configure link-local and global unicast SNTP server addresses

 

of:

 

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0 (on VLAN 10, configured on the switch)

 

2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:8980

 

as the priority “1” and “2” SNTP servers, respectively, using version 7, you

 

would enter these commands at the global config level, as shown below.

 

ProCurve(config)# sntp server priority 1

 

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0%vlan10 7

 

ProCurve(config)# sntp server priority 2

 

2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:8980 7

 

 

N o t e

In the preceding example, using a link-local address requires that you specify

 

the local scope for the address; VLAN 10 in this case. This is always indicated

 

by %vlan followed immediately (without spaces) by the VLAN identifier.

 

Syntax:. show sntp

 

 

Displays the current SNTP configuration, including the

 

following:

 

Time Sync Mode: Indicates whether timesync is disabled or set

 

to either SNTP or Timep. (Default: timep)

 

SNTP Mode: Indicates whether SNTP uses the broadcast or

 

unicast method of contacting a time server. The broadcast

 

option does not require you to configure a time server address.

 

The unicast option does require configuration of a time server

 

address.

 

Poll Interval: Indicates the interval between consecutive time

 

requests to an SNTP server.

 

Priority: Indicates the configured priority for the corresponding

 

SNTP server address.

 

SNTP Server Address: Lists the currently configured SNTP

 

server addresses.

 

Protocol Version: Lists the SNTP server protocol version to

 

expect from the server at the corresponding address.
