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):

HP4108(config)# timesync timep

Selects TimeP.

HP4108(config)# ip timep manual

Activates TimeP in Manual

10.28.227.141

mode.

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:

HP4108(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

For example, suppose TimeP is running as the switch’s time synchronization
protocol, with

DHCP

as the TimeP mode, and the factory-default polling

interval. You would halt time synchronization with this command:

HP4108(config)# no timesync
