TimeP: Selecting and configuring

The following table shows TimeP parameters and their operations.

Table 2: TimeP parameters
TimeP parameter		Operation
Time Sync Method		Used to select either TIMEP, SNTP, NTP, or None as the time synchronization method.
TimeP Mode
	Disabled	TimeP does not operate, even if specified by the Menu interface Time Sync Method parameter or the CLI `timesync` command.
	DHCP	When TimeP is selected as the time synchronization method, the switch attempts to acquire a TimeP server IP address via DHCP. If the switch receives a server address, it polls the server for updates according to the TimeP poll interval. If the switch does not receive a TimeP server IP address, it cannot perform time synchronization updates.
	Manual	When TimeP is selected as the time synchronization method, the switch attempts to poll the specified server for updates according to the TimeP poll interval. If the switch fails to receive updates from the server, time synchronization updates do not occur.
	Server Address	Used only when the TimeP Mode is set to Manual. Specifies the IP address of the TimeP server that the switch accesses for time synchronization updates. You can configure one server.
