  • 1.  NTP Setup Aruba CX

    This has been working on our HP Procurve, but did have to rebuild the NTP, so not sure what I'm missing.

    We are using a Windows server as an NTP source and found a thread about setting AnnouceFlags to 4, but so far that is NOT working.

    As for the switch:
    I have NTP enabled
    No Auth
    default VRF

    Not synchronized with an NTP Server is the message I get.

    On Aruba-CX the ntp commands are pretty simple:

    ntp server {ntp_server} iburst
    ntp enable
    ntp conductor vrf default stratum 3


    6300-cx# show ntp conductor

    NTP Conductor Status : Enabled

    ------------------
    VRF Stratum
    ------------------
    default 3
    6300-cx# show ntp status
    NTP Status Information

    NTP : Enabled
    NTP Authentication : Disabled
    NTP Server Connections : Using the default VRF

    System time : Fri Apr 22 22:35:54 UTC 2022
    NTP uptime : 5 days, 6 hours, 7 minutes, 20 seconds

    NTP Synchronization Information

    NTP Server : 132.246.11.229 at stratum 2
    Poll interval : 1024 seconds
    Time accuracy : Within -0.000303 seconds
    Reference time : Fri Apr 22 2022 22:31:52.989 as per UTC timezone
    ---------------------------

    Can you ping the ntp source?
    Have you confirmed that there is no port blocking between the devices?

    I have seen a problem with NTP on CX failing intermittently and we have worked round it by using IP addresses for the servers rather than DNS names.  We do not suspect anything to be wrong with our DNS, but NTP repeatedly failed to synchronise until we referred to the servers by IP.  You don't show your config but this may work for you?
