Example 23 Configuring link-local and global unicast SNTP server addresses

To configure link-local and global unicast SNTP server addresses of:

• fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0 (on VLAN 10, configured on the switch)

• 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:8980

as the priority "1" and "2" SNTP servers, respectively, using version 7, you would enter these

commands at the global config level, as shown below.

HP Switch(config)# sntp server priority 1

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0%vlan10 7

HP Switch(config)# sntp server priority 2

2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:8980 7

NOTE: In the preceding example, using a link-local address requires that you specify the local

scope for the address; VLAN 10 in this case. This is always indicated by %vlan followed

immediately (without spaces) by the VLAN identifier.

Syntax:

Time Sync Mode

Indicates whether timesync is disabled or set to either SNTP or Timep. Default:

timep

SNTP Mode

server address. The unicast option does require configuration of a time server

address.

Poll Interval

Priority

Indicates the configured priority for the corresponding SNTP server address.

SNTP Server Address
