Time Protocols 
TimeP: Viewing, Selecting, and Configuring 
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 
Disables time synchronization by changing the Time Sync 
Mode configuration to Disabled. 
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: 
ProCurve(config)# no timesync 
If you then viewed the TimeP configuration, you would see the following:

Disabling the TimeP Mode. Disabling the TimeP mode means to configure 
it as disabled. (Disabling TimeP prevents the switch from using it as the time 
synchronization protocol, even if it is the selected Time Sync Method 
option.) 
Syntax: 
no ip timep 
Disables TimeP by changing the TimeP mode configuration 
to Disabled. 
For example, if the switch is running TimeP in DHCP mode, no ip timep changes 
the TimeP configuration as shown below, and disables time synchronization. 
Even though the Time Sync Mode is set to Timep, 
time synchronization is disabled because no ip 
timep has disabled the TimeP Mode parameter.
