This is what is in the logs over and over:

.Jun 18 08:58:29 GMT: NTP: xmit packet

We have a duplicate setup on SW2 and it is working fine.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi.

Does the VLAN312 IP address have connection to 172.23.218.187 and 172.23.16.181? I.e. can you do an extended PING with VLAN312 as source and those addresses as destination?

HTH

Hi iyde!

Here are the results:

SW1#ping 172.23.218.187 source vlan 312

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.23.218.187, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with a source address of 172.23.12.20

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 58/60/68 ms

SW1#ping 172.23.16.181 source vlan 312

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.23.16.181, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with a source address of 172.23.12.20

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/4/9 ms

SW1#

Thank you.

I agree with Ingolf that the most likely problem is lack of IP connectivity. But the results of your ping show that there is IP connectivity.

The debug output and the output of show ntp association detail indicate that you are not getting any response from the NTP server. Is it possible that there is something between your switch and the NTP server that might be filtering traffic (access list on some layer 3 device, or firewall of some kind)and preventing the NTP request or preventing the NTP response?

It may be that the thing that is impacting NTP is also impacting TACACS so I do not want to go too far with TACACS while we are looking at the NTP issue. But if you attempt to login on the switch and then look at the reports on the TACACS server do you see the authentication request (is there anything in failed attempts or in successful attempts for this request)?

What is the result of the "sh ntp associate"?

Hello All,

I just found out that our HP Blade switch with Cisco modules is only L2 and can't do any L3 routing that is why it is failing.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

John

Thanks for posting back to the forum and indicating that you had resolved the problem and what the problem turned out to be. It makes the forum more useful when people can read about a problem and can read the solution to the problem.

NTP and tacacs should still work even if its L2 . It no different than say a 2950 using tacacs or ntp . Something else going on with that .
