Disabling time synchronization without changing the SNTP configuration (CLI)

The recommended method for disabling time synchronization is to use the timesync command.

Syntax:


no timesync

Halts time synchronization without changing your SNTP configuration.

Example:

Suppose SNTP is running as the switch's time synchronization protocol, with broadcast as the SNTP mode and the factory-default polling interval. You would halt time synchronization with this command:

switch(config)# no timesync

If you then viewed the SNTP configuration, you would see the following:

SNTP with time synchronization disabled

switch(config)# show sntp
 SNTP Configuration
  Time Sync Mode: Disabled
  SNTP Mode : Broadcast
  Poll Interval (sec) [720] : 720
