Hey Michael,

I havent tried this in a lab but what if you...

r1 - NTP master 1

r2 - ntp ser "r1"

r4 - ntp peer "r2"

r5 - ntp peer "r4"

and so on... That just might work!

I know this is going to sound lame, it really should be easier than this. This is exactly the kind of thing that scares me about the lab. Getting hung up on a relatively minor issue for the entire 8 hours (5.5 now).

So, I’m doing a simple lab, lab one from V3.

It has an NTP configuration in it that is nested. One Router is the next’s server so that the stratum levels match the routers’ number.

R1 is the master

Ntp master 1

R2 is the next router

Ntp server 1.1.1.1

Cat1 is the next router

R4 is supposed to be the next router however for the life of me I can’t get it to sync. I had trouble with R2 as well but worked through that by removing and reading the NTP config a few times on R1 and R2 – desperation more than troubleshooting.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why this thing won’t sync to Cat1 (or anything else for that matter).

HELP! I have already spent 2 and half hours on this foolishness!


Thanks guys.
