Database Sync between MM1 and MM2

    I have two mobility masters, MM1 and MM2, layer 2 redundancy is configured and working, MM2 is the backup. When I configure NTP servers and SNMP on MM1 and do a database sync I don’t see that configuration get transferred to MM2. When I run show database synchronization it shows succeeded. Is NTP and SNMP supposed to be included in the database synchronization? show switches also looks normal. btw, first post, somewhat of newbie

    EDIT: The NTP setting is configured under each individual MM , like Jeff specified below 





    Thank you

    Under MM1, I do not see a place on the MM to configure NTP

    clock and ntp config lives under /mm/mynode (in the CLI) which is analogous to the "Mobility Master -> YourMM1 / YourMM2" level of config.

     

    Items that are configured in "/mm/mynode" are not synced via DB sync.

     

    If you configure NTP in the webUI for YourMM1 you are in effect configuring "/mm/mynode" on YourMM1. You must log into the webUI of YourMM2 and perform the same config (e.g. Config -> System -> General -> Clock) in order to have it apply.

     

    If you really want to short cut the NTP config process, you can do it from the CLI, e.g.

    ssh to YourMM1
    conf t

    cd /mm
    ntp server 1.2.3.4
    write mem


    This will sync over to YourMM2, there is no equivalent webUI operation.

     

    In the below, 5.6.7.8 and 10.11.12.13 were configured from the webUI, 1.2.3.4 was put in at /mm - you will also see it if you repeat the "show configuration effective detail" on YourMM2

     

    (sg-vmm-p) [mynode] (config) #
    (sg-vmm-p) [mynode] (config) #cd /mm
    (sg-vmm-p) [mm] (config) #ntp server 1.2.3.4
    (sg-vmm-p) ^[mm] (config) #write m
    
    Saving Configuration...
    
    Configuration Saved.
    
    (sg-vmm-p) [mm] (config) #show configuration effective detail | include "ntp server"
    ntp server 1.2.3.4                     # local [/mm]
    
    (sg-vmm-p) [mm] (config) #cd mynode
    (sg-vmm-p) [mynode] (config) #show configuration effective detail | include "ntp server"
    
    ntp server 5.6.7.8                     # local [/mm/mynode]
    ntp server 10.11.12.13                 # local [/mm/mynode]
    ntp server 1.2.3.4                     # inherited from [/mm]
    (sg-vmm-p) [mynode] (config) #

     

     

    hope that helps
