NTP association problem

[hclisschennai]

Hi,

I have Core Router, Distribution and Access router.

Objective is

Core Router will get clock from Internet

Distribution Routers will associate with Core Router for NTP clock and

access Routers will associate Distribution Router for NTP Clock.

I have configured Core router as NTP master with command "ntp master 2" and "ntp server x.x.x.x"(to rx clock from Internet)

Distribution Router

"ntp peer <ip address of Core Router>

Access router

"ntp server <ip address of distribution router>"

Is the method I followed is correct. Do I have to change any thing to achieve this. Because access routers clock is not in sync. I doubt whether i am conceptually wrong

Thank you for posting the additional information that I suggested. I notice several things about it:

- there seems to be some issue about what caused it to boot (and perhaps whether it booted correctly):

System returned to ROM by unknown reload cause - suspect boot_data[BOOT_COUNT] 0

x0, BOOT_COUNT 0, BOOTDATA 19

- the show version does not indicate any active interfaces. Either you left out part of the show version output or there is a real issue with how the router is operating. Can you clarify about this?

Even if entering the address of the ntp server does not show up as an option in help, what happens if you enter the address as the next parameter in the command (is it possible that there is a flaw in on line help)?

Hi Rick,

You spotted this correctly. I intentionally removed the cards details from the "show version" output.

Next, even if I enter the address of the NTP server, it is rejecting saying "invalid command".

It is not the problem for me now. I am ready to upgrage the IOS rather.
