layer 3 switches and NTP

Hi There;

Can I use the same layer three switch to act as both a slave to 'get' NTP time from a NTP source and then as a 'master server' to distribute the time it has received from the NTP source to other devices on the network?

Regards

Yes it is possible. Have Peer Association of L3 switch with NTP Server & server association of same L3 switch with other network devices ( clients )...

ntp peer ip-address

[normal-sync] [version number]

[key key-id] [source interface]

[prefer]

Forms a peer association

with another system

ntp server ip-address [version

number] [key key-id] [source

interface] [prefer]

Forms a server

association with another

system

----------------------------------------

NTP Global Configuration Commands

!--- For the client:

clock timezone EST -5 ????

ntp source loopback 0 ?????

ntp server ip_address key 1

ntp peer ip_address

!--- This is for a peer association.

ntp authenticate

ntp authentication-key 1 md5 xxxx

ntp trusted-key 1

!--- For the server:

clock timezone EST -5

clock summer-time EDT recurring 1 Sun Apr 3:00 last Sun Oct 3:00

clock calendar-valid

ntp source loopback0

ntp update-calendar

!--- This is optional:

interface vlan_id ntp broadcast

!--- This sends NTP broadcast packets.

ntp broadcast client

!--- This receives NTP broadcast packets.

ntp authenticate

ntp authentication-key 1 md5 xxxxx

ntp trusted-key 1

ntp access-group access-list

!--- This provides further security, if needed.
