C3650 mgmt interface won't do NTP....

abatson

Level 1

I've got a healthy  C3650 switch, whose management interface is the 'gi0/0' interface on the front of the machine.  The switch will send syslog on this interface just fine, and it's listening on SSH on this interface too.   DNS works too, because I can resolve hostnames.   However, "show ntp assoc"    just sits at the "**INIT**"  stage, and never progresses.    I know that gi0/0 is seperated from the main routing engine of the switch (by design, I know).   What am I missing?   I've configured tons of switches to do NTP before, but this is my first switch where the mgmt interface is seperated from the main routing engine..  Other devices on my network are successfully using "0.pool.ntp.org", so I know its not an availability issue....   My gi0/0 is connected to a firewall that allows Internet Access (where other devices route their traffic that work just fine)    Config below...

Your config looks correct.

Question, why do you have

ip default-gateway 192.168.77.1

command in addition to the default route in the mgmt vrf?

you only need

ip route vrf Mgmt-vrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.77.1

since the switch is layer-2

HTH

I saw both methods of supplying default gateway info, and I was starting to grasp at straws to get this to work. 

DNS won't work unless I have "ip default-gateway" defined.   I've tried NTP with and without that config item, and still no dice on NTP.   Oddly enough it shows I can't get a MAC for my default gatway:

 

Protocol       Address                 Age  (min)         Hardware Addr          Type          Interface

Internet          192.168.77.1                    0             Incomplete                 ARPA

 

 

this gi0/0 for management is magic!  I just verified that I'm seeing syslog from this switch, but I have no MAC addresses in the ARP table.   My syslog server is on the same layer-3 network as my mgmt interface, but yet I can't ping it (but syslog makes it just fine).   SSH is also listening on this port just fine & can SSH just fine.

 

Are we sure there's not some addn'l ACL that I have to adjust, to allow NTP traffic to exit this interface?

 

I liked the idea of the mgmt interface being seperated from all the other traffic on the switch, but I guess if I need to, i'll have to create a "vlan 77"  *interface*  on the switch, and manage it that way....

Hi abatson,

 

NTP server configure should be as below if via management port:

Switch(config)# ntp server vrf Mgmt-vrf <IP Address>

 

If using FQDN, DNS server define as:

Switch(config)# ip name-server vrf Mgmt-vrf <DNS server IP Address>

then:

Switch(config)# ntp server vrf Mgmt-vrf <FQDN>
