IPv6 Management Features

SNTP and Timep

ip timep manual < ipv6-addr> [ interval < 1 - 9999 >]

Enable Timep operation with a statically configured IPv6 address for a Timep server. Optionally change the interval between time requests.

no ip timep

Disables Timep operation. To re-enable Timep, it is

 

necessary to reconfigure either the DHCP or the

 

static option.

 

 

N o t e

To use a global unicast IPv6 address to configure an IPv6 Timep server on the

 

switch, the switch must be receiving advertisements from an IPv6 router on

 

a VLAN configured on the switch.

 

To use a link-local IPv6 address to configure an IPv6 Timep server on the

 

switch, it is necessary to append %vlan followed (without spaces) by the VLAN

 

ID of the VLAN on which the server address is available. The VLAN must be

 

configured on the switch. For example: fe80::11:215%vlan10

 

Syntax:. ip timep dhcp [ interval < 1 - 9999 >]

 

ip timep manual < ipv6-addr ipv4-addr> [ interval < 1 - 9999 >]

 

Used at the global config level to configure a Timep server ad­

 

dress.

 

Note: The switch allows one Timep server configuration.

 

timep dhcp: Configures the switch to obtain the address of a

 

Timep server from an IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP server.

 

timep manual: Specifies static configuration of a Timep server

 

address.

 

< ipv6-addr>: Specifies the IPv6 address of an SNTP server. Re­

 

fer to preceding Note.

 

[ Interval < 1 - 9999 > ]: This optional setting specifies the inter­

 

val in minutes between Timep requests. (Default: 720)

For example, to configure a link-local Timep server address of:

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0

where the address is on VLAN 10, configured on the switch, you would enter this command at the global config level, as shown below.
