NTP issues after Upgrading Cisco 2821 to IOS 12.4-24.T2

gregl_2
Level 1
Level 1

I have a Cisco 2821 10.1.1.1 as a VGW and router in the network sitting behind a Cisco ASA5505(10.1.1.2)

Was running 12.4-3g prior to upgrading.

The ASA , switches, another router/vgw at anthoer site, Cisco WLC and  Cisco UCM server and customer  Domain controller are all set to get their NTP from the this VGW.

10.1.1.1 is acting as the NTP server for the network. and when you do a show ntp status it shows syncd.

Clock is synchronized, stratum 2, reference is 132.163.4.101

_______________________________

The ASA, WLC and other router seem to be synching to this gateway.

In the WLC it says synced with time server

the other router says sync stratum 3

In the UCM server is says ntp rechable but customer is reporting time is off on the phones.

Also customers DC is getting this error when trying to sync

((computer didnt resynch because no time data was available.))

when doing a debug on NTP i get this

""windows server""

000854: Mar 11 15:53:32.539: NTP message received from x.x.x.x on interface 'GigabitEther
net0/0.10' (x.x.x.x).

000862: Mar 11 15:53:40.731: NTP message sent to x.x,x,x, from interface 'GigabitEthernet0
/0.9' (x.x.x.x).

When you point the customers DC to a public  time server it stays sync'd with no issues and same thing with the UCM server.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi greg,

It looks like you may be hitting one or more of these Bugs;


    CSCsy31597
Synchronization fails between NTPv4 and Linux   

    CSCtf03971
NTP stratum not displayed correctly in 'show ntp status' output

    CSCsy13363
NTP v4 is slow to synchronize

Cheers!

Rob

Hey Greg,

None of the three show a 'Fixed-In" version

CSCsy31597 Bug Details 
    
Synchronization fails between NTPv4 and Linux
Symptom:

NTP fails to synchronize between 1800 router and Linux

Conditions:

It was observed after upgrading past 12.4(15)T throttle where we use NTPv4

Workaround:

Downgrade to 12.4(15)T train with NTPv3

CSCtf03971 Bug Details    

NTP stratum not displayed correctly in 'show ntp status' output

Symptom:
'show ntp status' shows different local system stratum then actual local stratum.

Conditions:
Issue experienced when NTP client configured to also be a Master. Client syncs to itself first, then will sync to its configured servers, but 'show ntp status' will show a local stratum of the previous sync (to itself) and not of the current sync (to the external NTP) server.

Workaround:
None.

CSCsy13363 Bug Details      

NTP v4 is slow to synchronize
Symptom:

A router may take as long as 15 minutes to synchronize its clock to an NTP server.

Conditions:

The router is running IOS 12.4(20)T or above.

Workaround:

Configure the "iburst" and "burst" options, for example:

ntp server 10.0.47.1 burst iburst

with this configured, NTP should synchronize in under 2 minutes.

Further Problem Description:

This performance regression was introduced in IOS 12.4(20)T, which
implemented NTP v4.
