Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can advise, as I am new to Cisco.
I have been asked to setup a Cicso 2960 as both an NTP Client and an NTP server.
This is so that it will be able to get it's NTP updates from a Windows server, and will also act as an NTP server itself to enable other switches and firewalls to get their updates from it.
I have found some information about setting it up as a client, but any verification on how to this this would be appreciated.
Also I can't find any info on setting it up as an NTP server. Is it possible to do this?
Many Thanks in advance
Nicola

you can configure 2960 as a client but cannot be configured as a NTP server.
use this command to configure it as a client
config>ntp server

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated :-)
Just out of interest, do you know if there are any Cisco switches that can be configured as NTP servers ?

I wouldn't configure Cisco appliance as an authoritative NTP server.
If you have Windows servers, you can configure them to be an authoritative NTP server.
