Cisco ASA and NTP Master Server

[humbertosoltero]

All,

My current understanding regarding the ASA firewall platform and NTP is that while the ASA can synchronize its clock to a NTP master/authoritative time source, it is unable to become a master/authoritative NTP time source; thus allowing other network enabled devices to sync time from it. Is this still the case in ASA 9.x code? I reviewed the 9.4 CLI guides and reference docs and this still seems to be a limitation. We have other solutions/options available for NTP time synchronization, but I wanted to definitively be able to either include it or exclude from the list.

Thanks!

Hi,

ASA cannot be NTP master. You will have to use other NTP Server.

Thanks
