ntp clock synchronisation issue with WAE-612

[SK Ameen .]

Hi,

Iam getting "WAE clock needs to be synchronized with the primary CM to make time-sensitive features like statistics, status monitoring and event scheduling work correctly". error on the WAE-612-k9 since few days. we have enabled ntp service on all the WAE devices in the network.

There is a delay of 40 minutes at the WAE when compared to WAAS CM.

Please advice how to fix this.

Ameen,

I suggest you manually set the clock on the WAE to match the CM time via the CLI.  Then point the WAE to the CM as its NTP server.

Example:

On CM CLI execute the command show clock

CM#sh clock

Local time: Mon Sep  5 20:28:58 EDT 2011

On the WAE CLI manually set the clock (remove any ntp servers defined first).

pdi-7341-19#clock set 20:29:00 5 September 2011

Then configure the WAE to point to the CM as its NTP server.

pdi-7341-19(config)#ntp server
