Hi.
My Switches are c2950/60 and sg300 series.
I configured them using ntp. They all have status "synchronized" when I do <show sntp status>.
switch#show sntp status
Clock is synchronized, stratum 3, reference is 82.197.188.130, unicast
Unicast servers:
Server : 82.197.188.130
Source : Static
Stratum : 3
Status : up
Last Response : 20:49:32.0 UTC+2 Sep 24 2014
Offset : 1113.2234959 mSec

I am suspicous about what <Last Response> is telling me. This matches excatly the time I was setting up the config (which resulted in a correct result for <show clock>).
My Question: Is it normal that more than 12 hours are gone and no ntp-request has been send by the switch to ask for the exact time? If not, what did I miss in my configuration?
In the docs I read that the request is made much more often, interval based on maths.
Here is the output of <show sntp configuration>. Could it be that the reason is "polling disabled" in the server section?
switch#show sntp configuration
SNTP destination port : 123 .
Polling interval: 1024 seconds.
No MD5 authentication keys.
Authentication is not required for synchronization.
No trusted keys.
