Hi
Am I the only one whose Aruba 2540- and 2620-series switches (firmware branch 16.02.0022m) can't keep their local time in sync when NTP protocol is used?
Configuration:
timesync ntp
no sntp
ntp unicast
ntp server x.x.x.x iburst
ntp enable
Statistics:
(config)# sh ntp statistics
NTP Global statistics information
NTP In Packets : 515
NTP Out Packets : 515
NTP Bad Version Packets : 0
NTP Protocol Error Packets : 0
(config)# sh ntp status
NTP Status Information
NTP Status : Enabled NTP Mode : Unicast
Synchronization Status : Synchronized Peer Dispersion : 0.00000 sec
Stratum Number : 4 Leap Direction : 0
Reference Assoc ID : 0 Clock Offset : 8.31725 sec
Reference ID : x.x.x.x Root Delay : 0.00246 sec
Precision : 2**-18 Root Dispersion : 8.99180 sec
NTP Up Time : 5d 17h 14m Time Resolution : 819 nsec
Drift : 0.00000 sec/sec
System Time : Thu May 3 08:52:09 2018
Reference Time : Thu May 3 07:16:20 2018
# sh ntp associations
NTP Associations Entries
Remote St T When Poll Reach Delay Offset Dispersion
--------------- ---- ---- ------ ----- -------- -------- -------- ----------
x.x.x.x 3 u 495557 10 177 0.000 0.000 16.00000
After 6 days it's already 8 seconds behind (real time vs. 'show time').
Or have I done something systematically wrong?
Thank You

Re: Aruba switch local time not sync'ed
Can you provide the output of show ntp associations detail <IP ADDR> command (where <IP ADDR> should be changed with your NTP Server x.x.x.x IP address)?
Edit: what happen if you try ntp server x.x.x.x instead of ntp server x.x.x.x iburst?

Without 'iburst' it took minutes for switch to set its local time to smthing else than 01/01/90

Re: Aruba switch local time not sync'ed

It's syncing every 17 seconds.

Re: Aruba switch local time not sync'ed
It's hard to call that syncing when switch'es local time differs almost 10 seconds from real time.

Re: Aruba switch local time not sync'ed
The point is, it can't be drifting for 8 days as it is syncing every 17 seconds, so there must be a problem with the sync. (or the source is rubbish).
Personally, I like a single internal source for time, that way I can be sure that all the desktops and all the infrastructure are getting the same time from a local source on the LAN. Also, I don't need multiple devices connecting through my gateway to get NTP - it's more efficient to have just 1 and to have that device redistribute time.
If I have my own source, then I have a Stratum1 NTP server pool that only accepts NTP queries from a second, Stratum 2, server pool that all my other devices query for NTP.
If I have to get time off the internet, then I use an internal NTP server pool to go and get that time and treat that as my "Stratum2" NTP server pool, and have all my internal hosts query that.

... although
1) NTP server x.x.x.x seems to feel OK:
ntpq -4 -p -n
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 13 l 65d 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000

*195.80.yy.yy 195.80.ww.ww 2 u 320 512 377 0.466 0.169 0.262
2) other devices which use x.x.x.x as a (S)NTP server are in sync
3) If I switch from NTP to SNTP then switches are in sync again
