I have configured Ntp sever on 3750x like as below
Ntp server 10.10.10.33
But switch clock is not getting sync with Ntp server, is there any thing missing here
11-27-2012 09:12 AM
what is config on NTP server? Is authentication enabled? Can you send output of 'sh ntp assoc detail'?
11-27-2012 09:23 AM
Are you able to ping the NTP server from your switch. I would start from there to check connectivity first, before looking at more complex issues...

Hi,
configure the clock manually as close as possible to current time because otherwise it would take ages to synchronize.
Regards.

I am able to ping ntp server which is Microsoft domain controller, no authentication set over there. I have set the clock manually but last time upon rebooting switch it came back to default, which is not fair.
Will share sh Ntp asso detail in next few hours as currently me not connected with switch.

Can you tell us some more about the NTP server? Most Windows Domain Controllers use the Windows Time Service which is similar but not the same as NTP. Are you sure that the Windows Domain Controller is really running NTP and not the Windows Time Service?

If I remember correctly, Rick is quite right about older NT servers. I recall (?) you could install an optional service to provide NTP.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think I've may have seen (somewhere) that later NT systems upgraded their time service. If they did though, they might only support SNTP or (Windows being Windows) might not 100% compatible with NTP standards.
You might find some additional information searching these forums.

Hmm, the "insane, invalid" doesn't bode well.

I agree with Rick. Using ANY MS OS as an NTP server does not work well.
MS OS works well when they (MS OS) "asks" to synchronize time with Cisco appliance. In my experience, MS OS does not "play well" when you tell it to talk to other appliance (like Cisco) OTHER THAN MS OS.

From I have read so far, you are better off getting something else to work as an NTP server than using the Windows Server for it.

Hope this helps.

Yes. This is how we've set ours up.
