[cisco-voip] Restarting NTP on CUCM 6.1.3 subscriber?

[Jason Burns]

If the NTP client can't sync to the external source it may mark itself as
synced to the local clock. It may cause the discrepancy you're seeing in the
CCM web page.

Syncing to a reliable external source is extremely important. I've seen
instances where a CCM server was synced to two different sources with
varying times (and one marked as stratum 1), and it caused critical service
crashes as the clock was constantly resetting on the CCM server.

pool.ntp.org, or the local equivalent for your area is something I would
deem reliable.
