In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration
level. The TTL range is 2 - 255 seconds.
Configure the Optional Timep Server.
Syntax: [no] ip timep <dhcp | manual <ip-address> > [interval <1-9999>]
You can specify whether the address of the Timep server is assigned via DHCP
or manually, and the interval in minutes between Timep queries (1-9999
minutes; default 720 minutes). The following examples show the Timep
command options:
HP2512(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1 interval 60
HP2512(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1
HP2512(config)# ip timep dhcp
HP2512(config)# ip timep dhcp interval 60
HP2512(config)# no ip timep
Web: Configuring IP Addressing
You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
1. Click on the Configuration tab.
2. Click on [IP Configuration].
3. If you need further information on using the web browser interface, click
on [?] to access the web-based help available for the Switch 2512/2524.
How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation
Without an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network, the
switch can be managed only through a direct terminal device connection to
the Console RS-232 port. You can use direct-connect console access to take
advantage of features that do not depend on IP addressing. However, to realize
the full performance capabilities HP proactive networking offers through the
switch, configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible
with your network. The following table lists the general features available with
and without a network-compatible IP address configured.
