SNTP on CSS11000

[rchriste]

Hello All,

I've read throught the other posts about SNTP and still can't get it working on some of my CSS boxes. I can ping the time server but the sys.log shows the following error message:

JUN 10 15:49:52 5/1 54 SNTP-7: Sending SNTP packet to X.X.195.10 , port 123

JUN 10 15:49:52 5/1 55 SNTP-7: Ipv4SntpSendRequest: forwEntry non-exist for X.X.195.10

(IP addresses changed to protect the network)

Can anyone help me out with what the log messages mean so I can continue to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

could you tell us what is the software version you are using.

Also, what is the routing table (is there multiple possible routes for the destination - all possible routes - not just the exact match)

Thanks,

Gilles.

Here are the route statements form the config:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.192.18.254 1

ip management route 10.192.38.0 255.255.254.0 10.192.18.254

The SNTP traffic should(?) be using the management route: ip management route X.8.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.192.18.254, X.8.0.0/16 10.192.18.254 2 mgmt static -- --, which according to traceroute it is:

LABCSS1# traceroute X.8.195.10

Traceroute:

Sorry about the "X" in the routes. Trying to keep a little security on the public addresses.

Again thanks for the help and please ask if you want more info.
