Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Figure 9-17. Example of Configuring Timep for Manual Operation

Changing the TimeP Poll Interval. This command lets you specify how long the switch waits between time polling intervals. The default is 720 minutes and the range is 1 to 9999 minutes. (This parameter is separate from the poll interval parameter used for SNTP operation.)

Syntax: ip timep < dhcp manual > interval < 1 - 9999 >

For example, to change the poll interval to 60 minutes:

ProCurve(config)# ip timep interval 60

Disabling Time Synchronization Without Changing the TimeP Configuration. The recommended method for disabling time synchronization is to use the timesync command. This halts time synchronization without changing your TimeP configuration.

Syntax: no timesync

Disables time synchronization by changing the Time Sync

Mode configuration to Disabled.

For example, suppose TimeP is running as the switch’s time synchronization protocol, with DHCP as the TimeP mode, and the factory-default polling interval. You would halt time synchronization with this command:

ProCurve(config)# no timesync

If you then viewed the TimeP configuration, you would see the following:
