DHCP

When Timep is selected as the time synchronization method, the switch attempts to acquire a Timep

according to the Timep poll interval. If the switch does not receive a Timep server IP address, it cannot

 

perform time synchronization updates.

When Timep is selected as the time synchronization method, the switch attempts to poll the specified

 

server for updates according to the Timep poll interval. If the switch fails to receive updates from the

 

server, time synchronization updates do not occur.

Server

Used only when the TimeP Mode is set to Manual. Specifies the IP address of the TimeP server that

Address

the switch accesses for time synchronization updates. You can configure one server.
