Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Viewing the Current TimeP Configuration

Using different show commands, you can display either the full TimeP configuration or a combined listing of all TimeP, SNTP, and VLAN IP addresses configured on the switch.

Syntax: show timep

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. (If the TimeP Mode is set to Disabled or DHCP, then the Server field does not appear.)

For example, if you configure the switch with TimeP as the time synchronization method, then enable TimeP in DHCP mode with the default poll interval, show timep lists the following:

ProCurve (config)# show timep

Timep Configuration

Time Sync Mode: Timep

TimeP Mode [Disabled] : Manual

Server Address : 10.10.28.100

Poll Interval (min) [720] : 720

OOBM : Yes

Figure 9-13. Example of TimeP Configuration When TimeP Is the Selected Time 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:

ProCurve (config)# show timep Timep Configuration

Time Sync Mode: Sntp

TimeP Mode [Disabled] : Manual Server Address : 10.10.28.100 Poll Interval (min) [720] : 720 OOBM : Yes

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