NTP Issue on Nexus 3548

[mschlenker]

I have configured a NTP server on a Nexus 3548:

hq3548Xsw01# sho run | incl ntp
ntp server 10.1.6.220 use-vrf managment
ntp source-interface  mgmt0

However, the switch is not pulling time. I want the switch to act as a client only.  No authentication is required to get time from the server.

NTP status shows:

hq3548Xsw01# sho ntp status
Distribution : Disabled
Last operational state: Commit operation failed

The NTP server is accessible from the management VRF  mgmt0

hq3548Xsw01# ping 10.1.6.220 vrf management

What am I missing?

 - 1) Make sure the NTP server does not block your (nexus) client, by some kind of ACL mechanism. 2) Check whether it is usable from another client-'source' besides your nexus. 3) If it has client logs , examine them and look for proper connectivity from your nexus.
