Time Protocols

TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring

Enabling TimeP in DHCP Mode.

Because the switch provides a TimeP

polling interval (default: 720 minutes), you need only these two commands for
a minimal TimeP DHCP configuration:

Syntax: timesync timep

Selects TimeP as the time synchronization method.

Syntax: ip timep dhcp

Configures DHCP as the TimeP mode.

For example, suppose:

Time synchronization is configured for SNTP.

You want to:

1. View the current time synchronization.

2. Select TimeP as the time synchronization mode.

3. Enable TimeP for DHCP mode.

4. View the TimeP configuration.

The commands and output would appear as follows:

1

show timep displays the TimeP configuration and also shows
that SNTP is the currently active time synchronization mode.

2

3

4

show timep again displays the TimeP configuration and shows that TimeP is
now the currently active time synchronization mode.
