CUE will not sync time with CME

jon.blomquist

Level 1

I currently have a UC520 system that CUE time is incorrect on by 5 hours. I have set the time with both Configuration Assistant (the most current version) and from the command line. Last night I also attempted to set the ntp server while logged into CUE and get messages that follows:

UC500-CUE(config)> ntp server 192.168.10.1

WARNING!!! Could not reach 192.168.10.1 using NTP.

WARNING!!! 192.168.10.1 might not have been configured as

WARNING!!! NTP server.

Save the change to startup configuration and reload the module for the new timez

one to take effect.

UC500-CUE(config)>

I have rebooted the system and the time is still off. Additionally I was not able to find any other way in documentation to set the time manually in CUE. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help or advise, Thank you,

Here are a couple of items to check.

1. Can you ping 192.168.10.1 from the CUE module?

2. Check your timezone in CUE

3. Check for the "ntp master" command in CME

4. There is a bug relating to this issue - CSCsu36827. Check the link below to see if this applies.

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsu36827

Hope this helps.

Brandon

Brandon,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yes you can ping from CUE.

In my first post that was me setting the Timezone on CUE to Pacific which was also done last night without results.

On CME I set it to have an NTP server prefer and then the NTP master was also set. I then set CUE to use CME as the NTP server and got the error at the beginning of my first post. I left it over night and time is still incorrect.

I will check the Bug you linked and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks again,

Jon

Ok, further update, I have read the Bug link and attempted to ping an external ntp server, however from CUE I am only able to ping the CME and no other IP addresses. I think this is the problem. When pinging the Domain controller local (192.168.10.5) I get Destination unreachable reported by 10.1.10.2 the CUE. I also get the same response when pinging the IP address for north-america.pool.ntp.org 1 A 209.167.68.100. Any ideas of how to resolve.

Thanks again.

Jon

Does your CUE module interface have a default gateway. Sounds like a routing problem.

Brandon

Jon

Apologies for using this thread to pass a message to Brandon but the new site is proving slightly problematic.


Brandon

Don't know whether you got my response from invite a friend. Collin Clark also invited me but the e-mails are not working properly so whenever you or Collin try to e-mail me apparently it just goes back to Dan using the supportforums-info@cisco.com.

Just didn't want you to think i was ignoring you in case you didn't get response.

Jon

Jon,

     I received a couple of messages from you yesterday. One appeared as if it was meant for Collin. I don't think you can reply directly to an email message. I think you have to go back to the site and email from there. However, I haven't seen a way to email you. Could be because your email address is hidden and mine is not?

Brandon

Brandon,

I am a newer user to CUE can you give me instructions for checking the default gateway for CUE? I too think the issue is routing related.

Jon

In the CME config, you should see something similar to:

interface Service-Engine0/0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
service-module ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
service-module ip default-gateway 1.1.1.1

Brandon

Brandon,

This is from the configuration:

interface Loopback0

ip address 10.1.10.2 255.255.255.252

ip virtual-reassembly

!

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address dhcp client-id FastEthernet0/0

ip virtual-reassembly

duplex auto

speed auto

!

interface Integrated-Service-Engine0/0

description cue is initialized with default IMAP group

ip unnumbered Loopback0

ip virtual-reassembly

service-module ip address 10.1.10.1 255.255.255.252

service-module ip default-gateway 10.1.10.2

Is CUE pointing to 10.1.10.2 for NTP? Is this router NATing traffic out to the internet? If so, and you want CUE to point to an external NTP server, I believe you will need "ip nat inside" on the service engine interface.

Brandon

Brandon,

CUE is not pointing to 10.1.10.2 for NTP and when I set NTP to it I also get the error message saying NTP server could not be contacted. I set ip nat inside on the interface as suggested and this also has not resolved the problem. This router is not routing traffic to the internet there is a PIX locally on the same subnet as the router. It's IP address is 192.168.10.2

I do not have access to any other UC520 systems to compare configuration too. Any other help or ideas for me to check out would great.

Thank you again for you help so far.

Jon

OK. If there is another device connecting to the internet and doing NAT, you will not need the nat statement on the CUE interface. Is the PIX setup to NAT addresses in the 10.1.10.0 subnet to the internet? Is the CME getting NTP (show ntp status)?

Brandon

Brandon,

I don't believe the PIX is setup to nat the 10.1.10.0 address space.

Here is the output from CME ntp status:

ColRheumUC520#sh ntp status

Clock is unsynchronized, stratum 16, no reference clock

nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 250.0000 Hz, precision is 2**32

reference time is CEB17784.2B1E292A (12:16:04.168 PST Fri Nov 20 2009)

clock offset is 0.0000 msec, root delay is 0.00 msec

root dispersion is 5.13 msec, peer dispersion is 0.00 msec

loopfilter state is 'CTRL' (Normal Controlled Loop), drift is 0.000000000 s/s

system poll interval is 64, last update was 342049 sec ago.

Does not seem to be sync'd. However my question is shouldn't CUE time itself from the CME? Time is correct on CME though manually set at this time.

Thanks again

Jon

Jon,

Can you ping 66.96.30.35 from CME?  Can you re-post the current "sh ntp status" from CUE?
