Hello @Steven-Williams-83 

#show ntp peer-status 

#show ntp peers

You will see if your N7k is synchronised.

as shown in my original post:

N7706-01-CORE(config)# show ntp peers
INFO: System clock is not controlled by NTP in this VDC
You can use "clock protocol <protocol> vdc <vdc_id>"
to change the current setting.
N7706-01-CORE(config)# show ntp peer-status
INFO: System clock is not controlled by NTP in this VDC
You can use "clock protocol <protocol> vdc <vdc_id>"
to change the current setting.

OK @Steven-Williams-83 

Under config-terminal

N7706-01-CORE(config)# clock protocol ntp vdc <vdc_id>
