HP Switch(config)# sntp 300

Changing the SNTP server priority

You can choose the order in which configured servers are polled for getting the time by setting the

server priority.

Syntax

sntp <priority>

Specifies the order in which the configured servers are polled for getting the time

Value is between 1 and 3.

NOTE: You can enter both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Example

To set one server to priority 1 and another to priority 2:

HP Switch(config)# sntp server priority 1 10.28.22.141

HP Switch(config)# sntp server priority 2

2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:8980

Disabling time synchronization without changing the SNTP configuration

The recommended method for disabling time synchronization is to use the timesync command.

Syntax

no timesync

Halts time synchronization without changing your SNTP configuration.

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(config)# no timesync

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

Example 18 SNTP with time synchronization disabled

HP Switch(config)# show sntp

SNTP Configuration

Time Sync Mode: Disabled

SNTP Mode : Broadcast

Poll Interval (sec) [720] : 720

Viewing all SNTP server addresses configured on the switch

The System Information screen in the menu interface displays only one SNTP server address, even

if the switch is configured for two or three servers. The CLI show management command displays

all configured SNTP servers on the switch.
