In the CLI, you can execute this command only from the global configuration
level. The TTL range is 2 - 255 seconds.

Configure the Optional Timep Server.

Syntax:

[no] ip timep <dhcp | manual <ip-address> > [interval <1-9999>]

You can specify whether the address of the Timep server is assigned via DHCP
or manually, and the interval in minutes between Timep queries (1-9999
minutes; default 720 minutes). The following examples show the Timep
command options:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1

interval 60

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# ip timep manual 10.28.227.1

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# ip timep dhcp

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# ip timep dhcp interval 60

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no ip timep

Web: Configuring IP Addressing

You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
switch already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.

Click on the Configuration tab.

Click on [IP Configuration].

How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation

Without an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network, the
switch can be managed only through a direct terminal device connection to
the Console RS-232 port. You can use direct-connect console access to take
advantage of features that do not depend on IP addressing. However, to realize
the full performance capabilities proactive networking offers through the
switch, configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible
with your network. The following table lists the general features available with
and without a network-compatible IP address configured.
