NTP Distribution Disabled

Hey All,

I am attempting to get NTP working in a closed area (no access to internet). I am running a pair of Nexus 9000s, one of which is to act as the time server. Following the configuration guide below:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/system_management/configuration/guide/sm_nx_os_cg/sm_2cfs.html#59542

 

After entering config t, entering "ntp distribute" results in an unknown command error. There is only one VDC on this switch. Feature ntp was entered already (although it doesn't show in the running config), and re-entering returns a response that NTP is enabled. Entering "ntp ?" doesn't show distribute, commit or abort as an option.

 

Any ideas would be welcome,

Thanks!

Hi,

Try enabling cfs first and ntp distribute

cfs distribute

HTH

The switch accepts CFS Distribute, however NTP Distribute errors out as an unknown command

Any other ideas?

I dont see the command as supported on the 9ks in any config guides ,onky 7ks show it and as Reza stated thats how it is turned on in nx-os when supported ,cfs first then ntp distribute

Ok, is there a way then to turn on NTP distribution on a 9K?

Any answer this question?
