Syntax:

ip timep dhcp interval 1 - 9999

ip timep manual { ipv6-addr | ipv4-addr } [ interval 1 - 9999 ] [ oobm ]

Used at the global config level to configure a Timep server address.

NOTE: The switch allows one Timep server configuration.

timep dhcp

Configures the switch to obtain the address of a Timep server from an IPv4 or

IPv6 DHCP server.

timep manual

Specifies static configuration of a Timep server address.

ipv6-addr

Specifies the IPv6 address of an SNTP server. See the preceding Note.

[ interval 1 - 9999 ]

This optional setting specifies the interval in minutes between Timep requests.

Default: 720

[ oobm ]

For switches that have a separate OOBM port, oobm specifies that Timep traffic

goes through that port. (By default, Timep traffic goes through the data ports.)

Example 25 Configuring a link-local Timep server address

To configure a link-local Timep server address of:

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0

where the address is on VLAN 10, configured on the switch, enter this command at the global

config level:

HP Switch(config)# ip timep manual

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

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. For a global unicast address, you would enter

the address without the %vlan suffix.

Syntax:

show timep

Displays the current Timep configuration, including the following:

Time Sync Mode

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

Disabled

Timep Mode

Indicates whether Timep is configured to use a DHCP server to acquire a Timep

server address or to use a statically configured Timep server address.

Server Address

Lists the currently configured Timep server address.
