Timestamp problem

[sachazufferey]

Hi,

I have a strange problem with one of my 2960x switch. The timestamp display a "." at the beggining of the line, for example :

.Aug 28 16:00:30.951 CEST: %SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS:

And a correct one :

Aug 28 15:51:18.428 CEST: %SEC_LOGIN-5-LOGIN_SUCCESS:

I used these commands on my switches :

service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime show-timezone year
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime show-timezone

Both are using IOS version 15.2(2)E6

My faulty switch :

Model revision number : A0
Motherboard revision number : A0
Model number : WS-C2960X-24PS-L
Top Assembly Revision Number : C0
Daughterboard revision number : A0
Hardware Board Revision Number : 0x05

Other switch :

Model revision number : L0

Motherboard revision number : A0
Model number : WS-C2960X-48FPS-L
Top Assembly Revision Number : C0
Daughterboard revision number : A0
Hardware Board Revision Number : 0x18

I already send the "no" command with no luck...

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind Regards

Sacha

Hi

Actually that is normal when the devices has lost sync with NTP server. 

.Aug 28 16:31:46.128: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5, changed state to up
.Aug 28 16:31:47.152: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5, changed state to up

You can verify the NTP status: show ntp status and you will see something like:

switch#sh ntp status
Clock is unsynchronized,

So the "." will indicate the event was registered without NTP Sync. 

Hope it is useful

Hi Julio,

Bingo!

Clock is unsynchronized, stratum 16, no reference clock

Thanks for your help! Have a nice day
