[cisco-voip] Checking NTP status on CCM

[Micah Bennett]

I agree that that document says not to, but this document says the
opposite. 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps556
/prod_white_paper0900aecd8037fdb5.pdf

Page 7 of 8 near the bottom in reference to the configuration for CCM
4.2 and earlier.  That is where the confusion lies.  

In my TAC case I also asked if I can just point all my servers straight
to the clock servers using the NTP.conf file that is on each box.  No
answers back yet on any of my TAC questions.

According to 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_configurat
ion_example09186a008009470f.shtml

Don't do that:
"
Note: You cannot use NTP to synchronize between two Cisco CallManagers. 
The NTP that is installed in Cisco CallManager is a client NTP service 
and only synchronizes to an NTP server.
