KB.15.15

This disables time synchronization by changing the Time Sync Mode configuration

to Disabled. This halts time synchronization without changing your TimeP

configuration. The recommended method for disabling time synchronization is to

use the timesync command.

System Information screen of the Menu interface:

a. Set the Time Synch Method parameter to None.

b. Press [Enter], then [S] (for Save.)

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:

HP Switch (config#) no timesync

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

Example 4 TimeP with time synchronization disabled

(HP_Switch_name#) show timep

Timep Configuration

Time Sync Mode: Disabled

TimeP Mode : DHCP Poll Interval (min): 720

In another example, suppose SNTP is running as the switch's time synchronization

protocol, with broadcast as the SNTP mode and the factory-default polling interval.

You would halt time synchronization with this command:

(HP_Switch_name#) no timesync

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

(HP_Switch_name#) show sntp

SNTP Configuration

Time Sync Mode: Disabled

SNTP Mode : Broadcast

Poll Interval (sec) [720] : 720

Disabling SNTP Mode

If you want to prevent the SNTP from being used even if it is selected by timesync (or the Menu

interface's Time Sync Method parameter), configure the SNTP mode as disabled.

Syntax

no sntp

Disables SNTP by changing the SNTP mode configuration to Disabled.

Example

If the switch is running SNTP in unicast mode with an SNTP server at 10.28.227.141 and a server

version of 3 (the default), no sntp changes the SNTP configuration as shown below and disables

time synchronization on the switch.
