NTP configuration doesn't work properly

[Rem Markov]

Hey!

So I have a few switches of Nexus9000 C93108TC-FX Chassis having the version of 7.0(3)I7(3).

I don't know where to look, I tried everything and they are set up exactly the same.

But for some reason only one of them we can set:

ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management.

but on all the others I'm unable to do so and they only accept:
ntp server 0.mo.pool.ntp use-vrf management.

I really don't know why one can accept the ntp with the domain and the other can't even tho they are exactly the same.

Is there a place to check? something to do?

Hello! 

What is the response you get from the Nexus when you input it?

Nothing actually, 

I run show ntp peers after it, and than I see if it worked or not.

It should output something?

Hello @Rem Markov,

Do you please share output "on the others" to see what is the error message ?

#sh ntp peer-status (share also the output)

Thanks.

Debug ntp packet 

For work and nonwork SW

[Rem Markov]

both of them work, just  differently and I don't understand why.

There is no command of "debug ntp packet"

I think you didn't quite understand me.

I have a ntp pool in my on prem enviromnet.
I have 5 switchs of the same type and of the same version.

4 of them will configure ntp only when run like that:

ntp server 0.mo.pool.ntp use-vrf management

The other one will only be configured when ran like this:

ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management.

There is no error and no output . it either configures it or not.

Like if I do the:
ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management. 

on one of the 4 , it just does nothing, no error , no nothing.
all of the 5 switches are configured the same.

And I want to add,

3 switches works with:
ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp use-vrf management.

2 switch works with:

ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management

I still don't quite understand it, but after running:
no ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management.
and then
ntp server 0.site.pool.ntp.med.one use-vrf management.
again it worked.

Hello,

I was just thinking that maybe you had some sort of cli alias or cli variable configured (show cli alias/show cli var). But it looks like you got the problem resolved...

Great @Rem Markov !!
