[cisco-voip] Checking NTP status on CCM

[Ellington, Chris]

Ntpq is in the xntp directory – it’s not just for Unix anymore… check \windows\system32\xntp (I think – I don’t have a windows box handy at the moment).  Cd to the directory and run it directly from there.

I am not sure.  That is one reason I opened the case with TAC to clear up the confusion.  One of the Cisco docs says that you should point your Publisher to the clock server, and everything else to the Publisher.  Another document says that the NTP.conf file can only be used to point to a clock server and not another node such as subscriber to publisher or IPCC to publisher.  

 

Our install partner back in 2007 told me to set it up the way it is now.  Publisher to clock, all other boxes to publisher.  I do know that right now everything appears to be in sync.  Being able to confirm that would be great.  

 

The other part of my TAC question was related to ntp.conf setup.  We have implemented a security key on one of our network clocks and plan to on the second in the coming months.  I need to make sure that NTP process on our Cisco servers (windows OS) will work with the extra command related to the security key.  Our linux guy showed me how they are set up on that side.

 

One of the other replies here on the group mentioned the ntpq command.  Since I am still learning, I googled this and it appears to be a linux command.  We are on CCM 4.2 with Windows OS.

Is it actually allowing you to sync to the Publisher from the other nodes?

Hello all

My CCM publisher server is pointed to our two NTP servers (via the NTP.conf) file.  My two CCM subscriber servers and my two IPCC servers are pointed to the CCM Publisher as their NTP source.

Is there any command I can run on the Publisher to see which of my two clocks the server is synchronized to at this time?  I opened an informational ticket with TAC but that seems to be dragging along at a snails pace.
