Network Time Protocol (NTP)

The document provides key commands and additional information about configuring and using NTP on Cisco routers. It lists commands for making a router an NTP master or client, setting authentication and trusted keys, and viewing NTP status and associations. It also covers commands for enabling NTP broadcasts, access restrictions, and updating the system clock and calendar from NTP. Potential issues with clock synchronization from multiple sources are discussed.

Additional Commands
In broadcast mode (global configs) Ntp broadcast version 1 <- sends out ntp broadcasts Ntp broadcast client Ntp broadcastdelay miliseconds <- setup Access restriction Ntp access-group [query-only|serve-only|serve|peer] access-list-number ntp source loop 0 <- uses l0's ip address as source interface ethernet 0 ntp disable <- to disable on that specific int. ntp update-calendar <- ntp updates rtr's calendar For Banyan VINES (in global) Vines time use-system <- distributes clock to other VINES systems Vines time set-system <- receives VINES time svcs

clock timezone zone hours clock summer-time .. sets Daylight savings params. Clock read-calendar <- set clock from calendar

Spot The Issue


When multiple clock sources are available (VINES, Manual Configs, etc), NTP will be considered as more authoritative. A machine will never synchronize to an NTP server if the server is not synchronized itself. Synchronization can take up to 30 minutes since IOS is looking for a stable source, and will not update until it is satisfied.
