TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Enabling TimeP in DHCP Mode. Because the switch provides a TimeP polling interval (default: 720 minutes), you need only these two commands for a minimal TimeP DHCP configuration:

Syntax: timesync timep

Selects TimeP as the time synchronization method.

Syntax: ip timep dhcp

Configures DHCP as the TimeP mode.

For example, suppose:

Time synchronization is configured for SNTP.

You want to:

1.View the current time synchronization.

2.Select TimeP as the time synchronization mode.

3.Enable TimeP for DHCP mode.

4.View the TimeP configuration.

The commands and output would appear as follows:

1show timep displays the TimeP configuration and also shows that SNTP is the currently active time synchronization mode.

2

3

4

show timep again displays the TimeP configuration and shows that TimeP is now the currently active time synchronization mode.
