NTP

[kunal-united]

Hi,

Cisco Pix is able to synchronize with the NTP server.

What could be the issue?

NTP is connected on the inside zone.

configuration

ntp server 10.10.194.165 source inside-zone prefer.

pix can ping the IP and is reachable.

Please advise.

If NTP sync is successful to 10.10.194.226 but not successful to 10.10.194.165 it either indicates that there is a problem in communication for NTP to 10.10.194.165 or it means that there is some issue with NTP on that device.

In an earlier post in this thread you posted this output

firewall(config)# show ntp association

      address         ref clock     st  when  poll reach  delay  offset    disp

~10.10.194.165    10.10.97.4       16  737d    64    0     1.0  44030.  16000.

I believe that if the ref clock is non-zero that you are communicating NTP with the device. So there must be something about NTP on that device. We have asked before, and I will ask again - what kind of device is 10.10.194.165?

HTH
