Customer is asking why you are giving same reference clock for the two routers?Can you change this into two Server IP?..
How i can change that ip?

Hi Senthil,

Reference clock here is the local switch which is acting as ntp server for other clients in your network, so it is showing as assoicted with the following ip address with self as ref clock.

You can create another ntp server in your network as a backup for primary.

Hope to Help !!
