ip timep

Syntax

ip timep dhcp interval 1 - 9999

ip timep manual {ipv6-addr|ipv4-addr}[ interval 1 - 9999 ][ oobm ]

Description

Used at the global config level to configure a Timep server address.

NOTE:

The switch allows one Timep server configuration.

Options

timep dhcp: Configures the switch to obtain the address of a Timep server from an IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP server.
timep manual: Specifies static configuration of a Timep server address.
ipv6-addr: Specifies the IPv6 address of an SNTP server.
[ interval 1 - 9999 ]: This optional setting specifies the interval in minutes between Timep requests. Default: 720
[ oobm ]: For switches that have a separate OOBM port, oobm specifies that Timep traffic goes through that port. (By default, Timep traffic goes through the data ports.)

Example

To configure a link-local Timep server address of:

fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0

where the address is on VLAN 10, configured on the switch, enter this command at the global config level:

Switch(config)# ip timep manual fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0%vlan10

NOTE:

In the preceding example, using a link-local address requires that you specify the local scope for the address; VLAN 10 in this case. This is always indicated by %vlan followed immediately (without spaces) by the VLAN identifier. For a global unicast address, you would enter the address without the %vlan suffix.
