hi.

i want to create NTP server on ASA 5540 firewall, its work to synchronize to all my devise in network.

and if yes then tell me how i installed it on my asa.

[srue]

ASA's cannot be NTP servers, only NTP clients.

[mitang.prajapati]

ok then tell me what command i give to configure my ntp client i have windows ntp server.

[srue]

on the asa:

asa(config)# ntp server x.x.x.x

[mitang.prajapati]

after this command any required to set value.

[srue]

use the "clock timezone" command to set the timezone. use "clock summertime" if you use daylight savings.

[mitang.prajapati]

i had give this command

ntp server x.x.x.x

but after this its not synchronize with time.

now what i do ?

[mitang.prajapati]

and how i check that time is properly synchronize?

[srue]

show ntp status

show clock

if it's not working, debug ntp.

can you ping the ntp server from the asa?

[mitang.prajapati]

Hi Mitang,

I had a similar issue at one point in the past--the ASA was not syncing properly with a Windows 2003 NTP server. I believe the ASA was reporting the NTP server as having a status of "insane".

I am not 100% positive, but I believe these are the instructions I followed to resolve this issue. Take a look at the section called "Configuring the Windows Time service to use an internal hardware clock":

Hope that helps.
