NTP time off by 1 hour. How do I fix this?

[jeff.vargas]

My perimeter router is configured for NTP and is getting a sync from a stratum2 clock. The clock is in the same timezone (PDT) but my router is off by 1 hour.

7206-Primary#sh ntp stat

Clock is synchronized, stratum 2, reference is 206.223.0.14

nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 250.0000 Hz, precision is 2**18

reference time is C4AA635A.5CA36827 (08:01:30.361 PDT Thu Jul 22 2004)

clock offset is -1.3520 msec, root delay is 40.99 msec

root dispersion is 4.81 msec, peer dispersion is 1.05 msec

How can I fix this?

Add the line

clock summer-time pdt recurring

to your configuration so the router knows you care about Daylight savings time. This assumes you already have a line

clock timezone pst -8

in your config to tell it you're in the pacific time zone.

Good luck and have fun!

I am guessing that the daylight savings time is messing you up so use the following command.

clock summer-time pdt recurring
