Enabling TimeP in Manual Mode

Like DHCP mode, configuring TimeP for Manual Mode enables TimeP. However, for manual operation, you must also specify the IP address of the TimeP server. (The switch allows only one TimeP server.) To enable the TimeP protocol:

Syntax:


timesync timep

Selects TimeP.

Syntax:


ip timep manual <ip-addr>

Activates TimeP in manual mode with a specified TimeP server.

Syntax:


no ip timep

Disables TimeP.

NOTE:

To change from one TimeP server to another, you must use the no ip timep command to disable TimeP mode, the reconfigure TimeP in manual mode with the new server IP address.

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):

switch(config)# timesync time

Selects TimeP.

switch(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141

Activates TimeP in Manual mode.

Configuring TimeP for manual operation

switch(config)# timesync timep
switch(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.141
switch(config)# show timep
