Cisco ASA as NTP server

[Aknab Aknab]

Is it possible for Cisco ASA FW to become as NTP server?

Due to Security issues can only sync time to Cisco ASA FW.

Hi Aknab, 

Checking the latest command reference seems the ASA still only support NTP as client , not server.

Hope it helps

Does the ASA have access to an NTP server on a separate interface?  If so, could you not configure a NAT that translates UDP/123 to the local interface of the ASA through to that server?  Twice NAT it so the source comes from the other side of the ASA?

Hi Aknab,

As far of my understanding ASA can be setup as an NTP client but not as an NTP Master.

Hope it Helps.
