Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Enabling Timep in Manual Mode. Like DHCP mode, configuring TimeP for Manual mode enables TimeP. However, for manual operation, you must also specify the IP address of the TimeP server. (The switch allows only one TimeP server.) To enable the TimeP protocol:

Syntax: timesync timep

Selects Timep.

Syntax: ip timep manual < ip-addr> [oobm]

 

Activates TimeP in Manual mode with a specified TimeP

 

server.

 

For switches that have a separate out-of-band management

 

port, oobm specifies that TimeP traffic goes through that port.

 

(By default, TimeP traffic goes through the data ports.)

 

Syntax: no ip timep

 

Disables TimeP.

 

 

N o t e

To change from one TimeP server to another, you must (1) use the no ip timep

 

command to disable TimeP mode, and then reconfigure TimeP in Manual

 

mode with the new server IP address.

 

For example, to select TimeP and configure it for manual operation using a

 

 

TimeP server address of 10.28.227.141 and the default poll interval (720

 

minutes, assuming the TimeP poll interval is already set to the default):

 

ProCurve(config)# timesync timep

 

Selects TimeP.

 

ProCurve(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141

 

Activates TimeP in Manual mode.
