To change from one TimeP server to another, you must (1) use the
no ip timep
command to disable TimeP mode, and then reconfigure TimeP in Manual
mode with the new server IP address.
For example, to select TimeP and configure it for manual operation using a
TimeP server address of 10.28.227.141 and the default poll interval (720
minutes, assuming the TimeP poll interval is already set to the default):
SMC6624M(config)# timesync timep
Selects TimeP.
SMC6624M(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141
Activates TimeP in Manual
mode.
Figure 5-15. Example of Configuring Timep for Manual Operation
Changing the TimeP Poll Interval.
This command lets you specify how
long the switch waits between time polling intervals. The default is 720
minutes and the range is 1 to 9999 minutes. (This parameter is separate from
the poll interval parameter used for SNTP operation.)
Syntax:
ip timep dhcp interval <1 . . 9999>
ip timep manual interval <1 . . 9999>
For example, to change the poll interval to 60 minutes:
SMC6624M(config)# ip timep interval 60
Disabling Time Synchronization Without Changing the TimeP
Configuration.
The recommended method for disabling time synchroniza-
tion is to use the
timesync
command. This halts time synchronization without
changing your TimeP configuration.
Syntax:
no timesync
SMC6624M(config)# timesync timep
SMC6624M(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141
SMC6624M(config)# show timep
Timep Configuration
Time Sync Mode: Timep
TimeP Mode : Manual
Server Address : 10.28.227.141
Poll Interval (min) : 720
