Time Protocols

Note that simply selecting a time synchronization protocol does not enable

that protocol on the switch unless you also enable the protoc ol itself (step 2,

above). For example, in the factory-default configuration, TimeP is the

selected time synchronization method. However, because TimeP is disabled

in the factory-default configuration, no time synchronization protocol is

running.

You can use either of the following methods to disable time synchronization

without changing the Timep or SNTP configuration:

■In the System Information screen of the Menu interface, set the Time

Synch Method parameter to None, then press [Enter], then [S] (for Save).

■In the Global config level of the CLI, execute no timesync.
