Hi,

On modern router you can fix the hardware clock.

Try this, just from the router enable prompt.

1)

clock set HH:MM:SS DD MMM YYYY

! This set the software clock to the time you want - usually the correct time where the router lives

2)

clock update-calendar

! This update the on board hardware clock to the time you have set in 1)

Now when you power off/on the router hopefully the clock in hardware should be reasonably accurate.

Hi

Unless there is a good reason to run the gateway as an ntp master (i.e. you are using it to server time to other devices) I wouldn't configure it that way:

try:

no ntp master

ntp server

ntp server

Where x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y are available NTP Servers (e.g. Microsoft domain controllers or public Internet NTP Servers).

Ummm ... I would never set any of my Cisco appliance as an authoritative NTP box.  The reason is the hardware is not designed to be one.  Setting up the clock, is OK but you'll see that the time will not be accurate.

You have two choices:

1.  Why not get a dedicated NTP server?  Not the ones that advertise themselves as an "ntp server" but requires an internet access.  I'm talking about a TRUE NTP server that synchronizes itself to the GPS.  That way this appliance is inside your secure network.
