1873.0. "XNTPD and local ref clock" by OTOOA::kap430.kao.dec.com::mbaker () Mon Mar 17 1997 14:21

Hi,

Anybody out there using NTP with a local ref clock ? (eg.: 127.127.1.10)
I do not have access to an external clock.

I am trying to get Cisco routers to synchronize to the XNTPD time deamon on 
the alta vista firewall. My ntp.conf is as follow :

server 127.127.1.10 version 2



 ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st  when poll reach  delay  offset   disp
==========================================================================
*127.127.1.10    127.127.1.1     10    30   64  377  5000.0    0.00    0.0
# ntpq
ntpq> peer
     remote           refid      st  when poll reach  delay  offset   disp
==========================================================================
*127.127.1.10    127.127.1.1     10    51   64  377  5000.0    0.00    0.0
ntpq> assoc

===========================================================
  1 12796  9f14   yes   yes  none  sys.peer   reachable  1      <-----------Auth
 = none (is it why I can't synchronize to it ???Any 
workaround ????)

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
