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.
