Hi all,
I am currently deploying NTP on a heterogenous network (~100 routers) and I have a lot of issues to synchronise all of them.
I use Server/client configuration because of WAN accesses with this configuration as example :
"
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime
!
clock timezone GMT 0
!
ntp source Loopback0
ntp server BCKUP_RT key 1
ntp server MASTER_RT key1 prefer
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 CiScO1
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
"
Now, it's going to be a nightmare to understand why this is not working on one equipment and working on other...
After to check and compare all the differences on my matrix I had exactly the result see below (please consider that Models are exactly with the same hardware -memory-line cards-...):
Here is the matrix :
Name Models Version NTP Working
TOTO1 2500 11.2(16) YES
TOTO2 2500 11.2(16) NO
TOTO3 2500 11.2(16)P YES
TOTO4 2500 11.2(16)P NO
TOTO5 7200 11.2(16)P YES
TOTO6 2610XM 12.2(17) YES
TOTO7 2610XM 12.2(17) NO
TOTO8 2610XM 12.1(17) YES
TOTO9 2610XM 12.1(17) NO
It seems that NTP is not well supported or integrated on the Cisco's equipment ?
If someone can help me to solve this... I will be thanksfull ;o)
Thanks in advance
