Time Synchronization issue on CUCM with NTP Server (Cisco Router)

jahanzaib amin

Level 1

Hello Experts,

We need your suggestion to configure Cisco 3800 Router as NTP Server and Syn with Cisco Call Manager to show correct time order on Cisco IP Phones.

There was a NTP Server before which is remove now but IP Phones are showing 30 min off from the Actual time.

We did Cisco 3800 as NTP server and added in CUCM as NTP Server but still time is showing different on Cisco IP Phones.

Please assist.

Thanks,

Hi Amin,

I was just refering the line from  SRND which says

Cisco highly recommends configuring the publisher to point to a Stratum-1, Stratum-2, or Stratum-3 NTP server to ensure that the cluster time is synchronized with an external time source.

can u run the command in Publisher

utils diagnose module ntp_stratum  and share the output.

utils diagnose test

The reference NTP server is a stratum 12 clock.

NTP servers with startum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable.

Please consider using an NTP server with better startum level.

Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers.

How is the poll duration 16 Seconds is different from the polling server value of 64 Seconds ?

Hello Experts,

Time on CUCM is correct but its not forward to IP Phone..there is 6 mins difference on IP Phones.

Thanks,

Hi Amin,

Which version of CUCM you using ?

Are all  phones are getting date/time  by cucm or you are using some ntp reference in date/time group of that device pool ?

Hi,

This is CM 6 and before we were using NTP Server but after removing the NTP Server the differene POP UP.

I will send the output in short while.

Thanks,

Hi Amin,

As asked by Prasad,please mention CUCM version and the model of IP phones which are facing the timing problem.

Did u ever try to reset Date/time group ?

regds,

aman

Hi Amin,

Just refer the link

After deleting, modifying, or adding NTP server, you must restart all the other nodes in the cluster for the changes to take affect.
