Enabling TimeP
This section describes steps and syntax for selecting and enabling TimeP as the time protocol.
IMPORTANT: Enabling TimeP as the time protocol means to configure it for either DHCP or
manual mode.
To run TimeP as the switch's time synchronization protocol, you must also select TimeP as the time
synchronization method by using the CLI timesync command or the menu interface Time Sync
Method parameter.
Syntax
timesync timep
Selects TimeP as the time synchronization method.
Syntax
ip timep [ dhcp | manual ]
Enables the selected TimeP mode.
Syntax
no ip timep
Disables the TimeP mode.
Syntax
no timesync
Disables the time protocol.
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:
1. Enable the TimeP protocol as shown above.
2. Select dhcp as the TimeP mode.
Syntax
ip timep dhcp
